Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glimpses of the Future: Suggestions as to the Drift of Things Author. - I have no notion of being able to tell what the future has in store for us. The best we can do is to indi cate the drift of things. Possibilities, and not certainties, are all we can hope for in speculating upon to-morrow and the day after. Unconsciously we do order our lives upon some theory of the future. We educate our children so they shall pursue a certain career either in business or in the professions. Every merchant and manufacturer buys goods or makes them, upon some theory as to their value when the time to dispose of them comes. Sagacity in business means a certain kind of prevision. It has seemed to me that this faculty of looking ahead has not been cultivated as it should have been, and this book has been written with a view to turning men's thoughts from dwelling so much on the past and pres ent, and inducing them to think out what is likely to occur hereafter. Reader - But surely there can be no certainty in such speculations. The average man has not patience enough for such investigations, and the clever, ingenious, imagi native man would most certainly become the victim of his own theories and illusions. I cannot see any data which would make prophecy reasonable, and of course you do not claim inspiration. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Glimpses of the Future: Suggestions as to the Drift of Things The author of this work was fortunate enough to predict in 1871 the panic of 1873, designating the railroad corporation which would first come to grief and the banking house which would probably be the first to suspend payment. He was also rather lucky in guessing the probable result of elections. This ability to forecast the future in a certain way was of use to him when managing a leading daily paper in New York. When ill-health forced him to give up daily journalism, his friend, Clinton W. Sweet, invited him to do some editorial writing on the Record and Guide. A "Prophetic Department" was commenced, in which an attempt was made to forecast the future of business and politics. As it would not do to commit either the writer or the paper to authoritative statements, subjects were treated in a rather off-hand manner by a "Sir Oracle," the name, of course, implying that the writer was probably a bumptious sort of person, who was as likely to be wrong as right. The department proved attractive to the readers of the Record and Guide, and the predictions were often fortunate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Instant New York Times Bestseller “This book will change your sense of how grand the sweep of human history could be, where you fit into it, and how much you could do to change it for the better. It's as simple, and as ambitious, as that.” —Ezra Klein An Oxford philosopher makes the case for “longtermism” — that positively influencing the long-term future is a key moral priority of our time. The fate of the world is in our hands. Humanity’s written history spans only five thousand years. Our yet-unwritten future could last for millions more — or it could end tomorrow. Astonishing numbers of people could lead lives of great happiness or unimaginable suffering, or never live at all, depending on what we choose to do today. In What We Owe The Future, philosopher William MacAskill argues for longtermism, that idea that positively influencing the distant future is a key moral priority of our time. From this perspective, it’s not enough to reverse climate change or avert the next pandemic. We must ensure that civilization would rebound if it collapsed; counter the end of moral progress; and prepare for a planet where the smartest beings are digital, not human. If we make wise choices today, our grandchildren’s grandchildren will thrive, knowing we did everything we could to give them a world full of justice, hope and beauty.

Book excerpt: It's hard to be excited about the future right now. Climate change is accelerating; inequality is growing; politics is polarised; institutions designed to protect us are strained; technology is disrupting the world of work. We need to upgrade the operating systems of our society. Jess Scully asks, What can we do? The answer is: plenty! All over the world, people are refusing the business-as-usual mindset and putting humans back into the civic equation, reimagining work and care, finance and government, urban planning and communication, to make them better and fairer for all. Meet the care workers reclaiming control in India and Lebanon, the people turning slums into safe havens in Kenya and Bangladesh, and champions of people-powered digital democracy in Iceland and Taiwan. There are radical bankers funding renewable energy in the USA and architects redesigning real estate in Australia, new payment systems in Italy and the Philippines that keep money in local communities, and innovators redesigning taxation to cut pollution and incentivise creative solutions. Glimpses of Utopia is a call for optimism. Humans everywhere are rising up to confront our challenges with creativity, resilience and compassion. Harnessing technology and imagination, we can reshape our world to be fair and sustainable. This book shows us how.
