Inventing the Future is available on Amazon. This link will remain available in the right hand column of my blog above my other Amazon links.
According to
Seth Godin, “The most common way to deal with the future is to try to predict
it. To be in the right place at the right time with the right skills or
investments. A far more successful and
reliable approach is to invent the future. Not all of it, just a little part.
But enough to make a difference.”
I don’t
believe that the future is nearly as dire as the UN Climate Panel has predicted. The
main reason for my optimism is that I believe we are finally becoming aware
that we must change our behavior. We know that we must transition away from our
heavy dependence on fossil fuels for transportation and energy production, and
we must accomplish a significant portion of this transition soon.
The objective
of this book of haiku is to invent (or at least point the way to) a better
future. We are already locked in to decades of self-perpetuating climate change
– but it won’t become irreversibly catastrophic if we act now.
