Welcome an exploration of opportunities and threats that will play a major role in determining our future on this One Finite Planet.
Entries here are usually not blog posts or tweets that convey thoughts on that day, but are are updated and improved and refined as the future is revealed.
Each exploration is an examination, on the quest for answers, by career analyst of future trends, with a background in science and technology.
The pages are not “this is how it is”, but more “here is a possible future to consider, based on the information I have found”. If you can add more on anything, feel free to comment on what I am missing.
What is here that may be of interest? And how to find it? The summaries, surprises and myths are of potential interest to everyone, while other content is more specialised. The search box and categories to right may help, but the contents below intended best facilitate finding what is wanted, and is organised with topics of general interest first, through to the content targeted at the narrowest interests last.
