a responsible future for the generations to come? And what can really
be accomplished when we finally do this?</b></div>

<div>Inspired by <a

festival of conversations, this reader presents the eight episodes in
a ready-to-read format. It seeks to answer the above questions with
contributions from world-class thinkers as well as specialists from
the local and online communities.</div>

<div><b>ABOUT THE READER</b></div>
<div> </div>
<div>As a growing population is sharing an ever-shrinking planet, we
have found ourselves at an existential crossroads: do we bring the
mistakes of the enlightenment and industrialization to their logical
conclusion or should we develop a capacity to reprogram ourselves as a
species, in order to survive? Some of the solutions might be technical
but most of the obstacles are not.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Through surveillance, manipulation and escapism, multinationals
and foreign governments are using the powerful tools that could help
us manage the climate emergency to manage us instead. The apocalyptic
narratives of destruction, natural selection and space colonisation
distract us from the urgent need to manage our resources and mitigate
a disaster.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The discussions documented in this reader focus on solutions,
finding tools, words or visions across the different disciplines, from
energy and infrastructure to community building and AI. They analyse
the strategies used by successful communities and proposed by social
and scientific institutions to help us reset and find the way back.
Not to the way it was, but to the way it should have been: an engaged
community that encompasses all living beings on this planet.</div>
