Description

Do you dream of a future filled with flying cars and sexy robotic sidekicks or is your vision of tomorrow a nightmare where automation has taken your job, hackers have stolen your identity, and governments track your every move?


The choices for our future often seem to run in extremes. Either we're living in a world of endless pleasure or a dark age of surveillance and digital slavery. Neither vision is accurate. Both stand in the way of creating a sustainable, equitable, and abundant tomorrow.

 

In Reimagining Our Tomorrows, futurist and storyteller, Joe Tankersley illustrates how the massive disruptions we are experiencing today in technology, society, culture, and economics, can help us create a world of personal empowerment and community prosperity.  

 

Imagine a future where:

A new generation of pioneers transform abandoned suburban malls into vibrant eco-villages where the town meetings are the best party around.

Passionate solo-preneurs take a break from crushing it in the new gig economy to brainstorm the perfect virtual reality Burning Man Moon raver with the help of their personal smart agent.

Social entrepreneurs defeat the tyranny of algorithm-driven media, make fake news obsolete and bring back the power of the local press. 


A courageous immigrant combines tradition and technology to battle toxic fast fashion with styles that last and impress. 

 

Nursing homes sit empty, while seniors thrive in community co-ops with art studios, personal chefs, and virtual pain management apps.

 

Whether you are a young professional looking for purpose, a socially-conscious entrepreneur doing work that matters, or an experienced changemaker trying to keep up with the pace of disruption, Reimagining Our Tomorrowsis for all the doers and dreamers anxious to ensure our best days are still ahead of us.


Do you dream of a future filled with flying cars and sexy robotic sidekicks or is your vision of tomorrow a nightmare where automation has taken your job, hackers have stolen your identity, and...

The full title is Reimagining Our Tomorrows: Making Sure Your Future Doesn’t SUCK by Joe Tankersley. I thank Netgalley for the privilege of reading an ARC of this book.

None of us knows what the future holds. Will it be good or will it be bad?

There is plenty to fear about our future. We already see many changes and many of us wonder what the future holds both for us personally and for the world in general. But change can also bring new opportunities as well as problems.

Many books seem to emphasize the worst possibilities about our future. And there certainly is much evidence that the future may not be so great.

But this is an optimistic view of that same future. This book is about facing the challenges and making the most of them. The author calls himself an optimistic futurist. And he conveys that optimistic view to us by his story telling.

I liked the optimism of this book.
