Andrew Maynard: What exactly is the future? How are we connected to it? And what is our responsibility to it?
Hi, my name is Professor Andrew Maynard. I study the future and how our actions influence it. I’m also the author of the book Future Rising.
In this podcast I’ll be taking us on a journey from the past to the edge of tomorrow as we read through the book. It’s a journey that starts with the big bang, and ends with our responsibility to future generations. Along the way, there’ll be plenty twists and turns, some intriguing new ideas, and even a few surprises.
In this episode, which is also the last in this season of Future Rising, we begin pulling together the threads from the past few weeks as we explore how reason helps us not only peer into the future, but begin to design it.
