Story
For too long, many of the companies, governments, and individuals claiming to do the most are nowhere near walking their talk. They’ve put up beautiful window dressing to distract from all the horrible stuff happening inside their houses. Behind the scenes, these groups’ actions hold back the very progress they claim to support. We’ve been treated like fools, falling into the trap of believing their lies and refusing to question their sincerity.

How to Spend a Trillion Dollars

Story
If you had a trillion dollars and a year to spend it for the good of the world and the advancement of science, what would you do? It's an unimaginably large sum, yet it's only around one per cent of world GDP, and about the valuation of Google, Microsoft or Amazon. It's a much smaller sum than the world found to bail out its banks in 2008 or deal with Covid-19. But what could you achieve with $1 trillion? You could solve the problem of the pandemic, for one, and eradicate malaria, and maybe cure all disease. You could end global poverty.

Story
In the 60,000 years since people began colonising the continents, a recurring feature of human civilisation has been mobility - the constant search for resources and stability. Seismic global events - wars and genocides, revolutions and pandemics - have only accelerated the process. The map of humanity isn't settled, not now, not ever. As climate change tips toward full-blown crisis, economies collapse, governments destabilise and technology disrupts, we're entering a new age of mass migrations - one that will scatter not just the dispossessed but all of us.

Story
The industrial age made possible by fossil fuels will surely decline as these fuels run out. In The Ecotechnic Future John Michael Greer alerts the listener to possible changes future generations may face as these dwindling fuel supplies lead first to a deindustrial age, then to a society which salvages the remnants of our current plenty, and eventually to a time in which people may learn to live in balance with the environment: an ecotechnic society.

Story
Würden wir eine Zeitreise in die Zeit vor 500 Jahren oder 500 Jahre in die Zukunft machen, wären wir erschüttert, wie sehr sich Technik und Medizin verändert haben. Die geopolitische Ordnung würde für uns keinen Sinn ergeben. Die Sprache wäre uns völlig fremd. Und doch müssten wir in dieser uns vollkommen unbekannten Welt die Menschen nur wenige Minuten beobachten und würden sagen: »Ah, das habe ich schon einmal gesehen.« Denn uns würden zahlreiche universelle Verhaltensweisen begegnen: Menschen, die von Angst, Neid und Gier angetrieben werden; Menschen, die blind vor Selbstüberschätzung fatale Entscheidungen treffen.

The American Dream is close to being replaced by a living nightmare. Key commodities that are essential to our daily lives and that are widely believed to be abundant are running critically short. Even worse, the Chinese are doing what they can to monopolize the world's dwindling resources. The U.S. is now largely dependent on our greatest economic rival for rare earth elements as well as a host of other minerals - all of which are absolutely essential to the development of alternative energies....

Story
The digital age we live in is as transformative as the Industrial Revolution, and Joshua Cooper Ramo explains how to survive. If you find yourself longing for a disconnected world where information is not always at your fingertips, you may eventually be as useful as the carriage maker post-Henry Ford. It's practically impossible to know where the marriage of imagination and technology will take us (sorry, Betamax and Kodak), and the only certainty is that in the networked world we will only become more intertwined.

John Maeda is one of the world's preeminent thinkers on technology and design, and in How to Speak Machine, he offers a set of simple laws that govern not only the computers of today but the unimaginable machines of the future. Machines are already more powerful than we can comprehend and getting more powerful at an exponential pace. Once set in motion, algorithms never tire. And when a program's size, speed and endlessness combine with its ability to learn and transform itself, the outcome can be unpredictable and dangerous.

From centres of antiquity like Athens or Rome to modern metropolises like New York or Shanghai, cities throughout history have been the engines of human progress and the epicentres of our greatest achievements. Now, for the first time, more than half of humanity lives in cities, a share that continues to rise. In the developing world, cities are growing at a rate never seen before. In this book, Professor Goldin and Tom Lee-Devlin show why making our societies fairer, more cohesive and sustainable must start with our cities.

Our world is in a mess. The challenges of climate change, inequality, hunger and a global pandemic mean our way of life seems more imperilled and society more divided than ever; but economics can help! From parenting to organ donation, housing to anti-social behaviour, economics provides the tools we need to fix the biggest issues of today. Far from being a means to predict the stock market or enrich the elite, economics provides a lens through which we can better understand how things work.

Unsere Welt steht an einem Kipp-Punkt, und wir spüren es. Einerseits geht es uns so gut wie nie, andererseits zeigen sich Verwerfungen, Zerstörung und Krise, wohin wir sehen. Ob Umwelt oder Gesellschaft - scheinbar gleichzeitig sind unsere Systeme unter Stress geraten. Wir ahnen: So wie es ist, wird und kann es nicht bleiben. Wie finden wir zu einer Lebensweise, die das Wohlergehen des Planeten mit dem der Menschheit versöhnt? Wo liegt der Weg zwischen Verbotsregime und Schuldfragen auf der einen und Wachstumswahn und Technikversprechen auf der anderen Seite?

Politics, manners, humor, sexuality, wealth, even our definitions of success are periodically renegotiated based on the new values society chooses to use as a lens to judge what is acceptable. Are these new values randomly chosen or is there a pattern? Pendulum chronicles the stuttering history of western society; that endless back-and-forth swing between one excess and another, always reminded of what we left behind.
