Story
Au moment où la montée vertigineuse du prix des hydrocarbures et le renchérissement des matières premières suscite déjà au Sud des émeutes de la faim, menaçant au Nord des professions entières, remettant en cause des modes de vie, voici qu'un péril plus angoissant commence à faire parler de lui : le problème de l'eau. Dans dix ans, dans vingt ans, aurons-nous assez d'eau ? Assez d'eau pour éviter qu'à toutes les raisons de faire la guerre s'ajoute celle du manque d'eau ?

Story
Ohne Frage: Wir stehen näher am globalen Kollaps als die meisten glauben. Schade nur, dass in Politik und Wirtschaft immer noch meist diejenigen das Sagen haben, die am allerwenigsten dazu geeignet sind. In Zeiten von Klimawandel, Artensterben, Atombomben, Überbevölkerung, multiresistenten Keimen und unregulierten Finanzmärkten ist das eine Katastrophe.

There are three types of people when it comes to the future: those who will watch what happens, those who will make it happen, and those who will wonder what happened. Which will you be? Our society has widespread and unprecedented access to information, but what do we do with it all? Who do we trust to accurately track our societal trends, interpret them, and see possibilities for the future - and how can we help to shape that future? The answers lie in Futurecast, an insider glimpse of today’s world - and tomorrow’s.

Story
The crisis that followed the collapse of Lehman Brothers marked the fourth systemic transformation of capitalism since the late 18th century. Capitalism was not destroyed by the crisis, but it was irrevocably changed. This provocative audiobook shows how the forces that precipitated the financial meltdown of 2007-2009 are now creating a new and stronger version of the global capitalist system. This system will continue to be led and shaped by the U.S. if its businesses and politicians play their cards well.

Aus aktuellem Anlass: Politischer und gesellschaftlicher Vergleich mit dem römischen Reich. Geburtenrückgang, Integrationsprobleme, Terrorgefahr: Oft hört man, solche Herausforderungen seien völlig neu, nie dagewesen, absolut beispiellos. Der Blick auf die Antike zeigt, dass das nicht stimmt. Schon einmal hat sich ein großer Teil der Welt zu einer Wohlstandszone verbunden, die mit ihren Chancen und Risiken dem modernen Westen erstaunlich ähnlich war.

Drei der entscheidenden Entwicklungen, die unsere Zukunft im 21. Jahrhundert bestimmen werden - die der Weltbevölkerung, die des Klimawandels und die von digitaler Hardware - haben etwas gemeinsam. Sie sind Phänomene des exponentiellen Wachstums. Die schlechte Nachricht: Schon immer haben wir Menschen uns schwer damit getan, solche Entwicklungen zu Ende zu denken. Die gute: Wir sind eine lernfähige Spezies... Wird es uns gelingen, die mächtigen technologischen Entwicklungen so einzusetzen, dass sie uns und die Erde retten?

Story
Der Traum vom perfekten Menschen ist verlockend und dank der Fortschritte der Molekularbiologe innerhalb der vergangenen sechzig Jahre kein Zukunftsszenario mehr. Nachdem es 1973 erstmals gelungen ist, Gene unterschiedlicher Herkunft zu kombinieren kamen in den achtziger Jahren die Stammzellen. Nach ersten Schritten in der Gentherapie am kranken Menschen folgten das Klonschaf Dolly und die Entschlüsselung des menschlichen Genoms. Seit 2013 ermöglicht die sogenannte Genschere den Eingriff in das Erbgut lebender Zellen.

Politik und Wirtschaftselite haben in den letzten Jahren die weltweite Entwicklung verschlafen.

Eine Agenda für Deutschlands mentalen und politischen Neuanfang. Ein Gespenst geht um in Deutschland, das Gespenst des Abstiegs. Immer mehr Untergangsszenarien sind im Umlauf oder werden sogar bewusst geschürt. Wenn es um die Zukunft geht, gilt es als ausgemacht, dass es unseren Kindern einmal schlechter gehen wird als uns. Doch diese Aussage ist ebenso grundlos wie gefährlich. Herfried und Marina Münkler zeigen eindrucksvoll, warum solche diffusen Ängste den Zusammenhalt einer Gesellschaft gefährden und allen Populisten, aus welcher Richtung sie auch kommen, Angriffspunkte bieten.

Imagine an imminent future where American voters are bombarded with personalized political messages from every smart device - at home, in cars, on sidewalks; the digital infosphere. Big Data so fine-tuned, no two voters hear the same proposition. You come home to a hologrammatic, AI-powered Donald Trump chatbot perched in your kitchen, asking personal questions - knowing everywhere you went, everything you searched, and how much you spent on lunch.

Are humans close to living forever? With advances in medicine and new therapies that prolong life expectancy, we are on track to make aging even more manageable. This new entry in the exciting Alice in Futureland series explores both the science and cultural impulse behind extending lifespans, and the numerous ways the quest for eternity forces us to reevaluate what it means to be human.

AI is a present reality: we live at the threshold of an AI-dominated era. AI is more than a Technology wave. In the 21st century and beyond it is the very core source of power that fuels politics, business, and society: our minds, our work, and our homes. AI also rewrites the rules and forces us to lose no time in rethinking fundamental questions of our humanity. Our human brains will soon be required to adapt at hyper speed to a new paradigm of omnipresent machine intelligence. We all have to deal with both its opportunities and threats in a conscious manner.
