Book SynopsisWhere and who do we want to be? How might we get there? What might happen if we stay on our current course?The Future of Stuff asks what kind of world will we live in when every item of property has a digital trace, when nothing can be lost and everything has a story. Will property and ownership become as fluid as film is today: summoned on demand, dismissed with a swipe? What will this mean for how we buy, rent, share and dispose of stuff? About what our stuff says about us? And how will this impact on us, on manufacturing and supply, and on the planet?This brief but mighty book is one of five that comprise the first set of FUTURES essays. Each standalone book presents the author's original vision of a singular aspect of the future which inspires in them hope or reticence, optimism or fear. Read individually, these essays will inform, entertain and challenge. Together, they form a picture of what might lie ahead, and ask the reader to imagine how we might make the transition from here to there, from now to then.

Atlantic Books Tomorrows Versus Yesterdays: Conversations in
Book SynopsisThe current crisis of democracy, the growing economic inequality between rich and poor, our narcissistic social media culture and the looming menace of AI all threaten us as never before. The challenges presented by technology have long been central in these issues, but how can we take advantage of the opportunities it provides to shape a better twenty-first century? The most important division of our age is between the 'tomorrows', those who believe that the future can be better than the past, and the 'yesterdays' who harbor a nostalgic desire to return to a rose-tinted past. This division is encapsulated by how we answer a simple question: can we trust the future? In Tomorrows Versus Yesterdays, Andrew Keen discusses the issue with some of the most influential thinkers of our time. The book is split into four sections. The first identifies the challenges of our digital age. The second focuses on the failure of the internet revolution to realize its ambitious goals. The third untangles the complex relationship between populism and digital media, before the final part presents possible solutions to the challenges of our age. The result is an insightful examination of the most important issues facing us today, and essential reading for anyone interested in the impact of the digital revolution.Table of Contents1: Shoshana Zuboff 2: John Borthwick 3: Maria Ressa 4: Rana Foroohar 5: David Kirkpatrick 6: Douglas Rushkoff 7: Eli Pariser 8: Kenneth Cukier 9: Peter Sunde 10: Peter Pomerantsev 11: Ece Temelkuran 12: Catherine Fieschi 13: Ian Bremmer 14: Martin Wolf 15: Richard Stengel 16: Carl Benedikt Frey 17: Toomas Ilves 18: Scott Galloway
