Summary
When we look into the future, we imagine economic collapse, environmental disaster, and the zombie apocalypse. But what if we are wrong? John Higgs takes us on a journey past the technological hype and headlines to discover why we shouldn’t trust the predictions of science fiction, why nature is not as helpless as we assume, and why purpose can never be automated. In the process, we will come to a better understanding of what lies ahead and how, despite everything, we can build a better future.

Critics Review
A magnificent book - you should read all of it – Rufus HoundBrilliant, incisive and superbly written with humour, humanity and an intellectual honesty rarely found these days, The Future Starts Here is the best book I’ve read this year. An antidote to the disease and cynicism we are surrounded by, and a hymn to the future. A must read
