Richard Watson Bücher

Eine Entdeckungsreise zu den technischen und sozialen Veränderungen, die uns bevorstehen. Wie wird die Welt im Jahr 2020, 2050 oder 2100 aussehen? Werden wir mit 70 oder 80 Jahren noch Familien gründen? Werden wir Wesen auf fremden Sternen finden? Hat jeder Baum seine eigene IP-Adresse? Die Zukunft bleibt ungewiss, doch Menschen haben immer spekuliert, ob mit Freude oder Angst. Viele Trends sind absehbar, einige Entwicklungen lassen sich extrapolieren, während andere völlig überraschend kommen. Richard Watson, ein renommierter Zukunftsforscher, lädt dazu ein, einen Blick in die Zukunft zu werfen. Er beleuchtet 50 spannende Szenarien basierend auf dem neuesten Stand der Zukunftsforschung und zeigt, wie Wissenschaft, Technologie und unser Verhalten das Schicksal der Menschheit in den nächsten 100 Jahren und darüber hinaus beeinflussen könnten. Die Themen reichen von Biokraftstoffen über intelligente Städte und Geo-Engineering bis hin zu Kriegen um Wasser, dem Internet der Dinge, personalisierter Medizin und Gehirn-Maschine-Schnittstellen. Diese Analyse der Wunder und Schrecken, die uns erwarten, bietet einen tiefen Einblick in das Vermächtnis, das wir der nächsten Generation hinterlassen.
