About this listen

The Future Past of an Extraordinary Man is a thought-provoking journey through the life of Luke Macdonald—a man born in 2003 who lives to see the year 2091, only to face the inevitable: state-mandated euthanasia on his 88th birthday. As the storm rages outside his Surrey home, Luke races against time, reflecting on a life filled with love, ambition, regret, and the consequences of humanity’s choices.

Told through his own words in the final hours before his scheduled death, Luke’s story unfolds across a century of change—climate disasters, political upheaval, and a world struggling to reconcile progress with survival. He navigates the highs and lows of romance, the thrill of activism, and the moral dilemmas of a society forced to make impossible decisions.

With meticulous attention to scientific predictions and an intimate exploration of human resilience, Rob Clarke crafts a compelling vision of the future—one that is as unsettling as it is hopeful. The Future Past of an Extraordinary Man is a must-listen for those who question where we’re headed and whether we can change course before it’s too late.
