From Chelsea Green Publishing UK:
What would our activism look like if time travel were possible? How to Fall in Love with the Future dares to deep dive into the people and movements throughout history who have used visions of the future to inspire positive change on a large and dramatic scale—offering a way forward.
There are an infinite number of possible futures that lie ahead of us—like threads stretching out into the distance. Rob Hopkins, cofounder of the international Transition Network movement, invites us to travel to future worlds we would actually want to live in.
How to Fall in Love with the Future is the result of Hopkins’s deep dive into the people and movements throughout history who have used visions of the future to inspire positive change on a large and dramatic scale. From the life and writings of musician Sun Ra and the history of Black utopian movements to the latest neuroscience on what goes on in our minds—and hearts—when we “time travel,” Hopkins brings essential new thinking to anyone overwhelmed with dread and anxiety for the future. He asks us to consider: what would the world look like if we all got to work imagining—and then building—a world we were deeply in love with?
