The Challenge of the Future : What Should We�Keep from Yesterday as We Rush into Tomorrow?

In an era of instability, how do we build a better future?

We live in a time of unprecedented technological change and uncertainty, from AI to transhumanism. Humankind is faced with the question of what the future will be like and, more importantly, what it should be like.

We confront increasing dangers from geopolitical instability, war, and the climate crisis that threaten to render these developments either irrelevant or deadly. The answer cannot simply be to call a halt.

A. C. Grayling asks the question no one else is asking: what do we wish to keep from yesterday that will help us decide today what we want and do not want tomorrow?

He explores how we might navigate these complexities to build a fairer, more equal, and sustainable future.
