Possible future developments are explored with the aim of highlighting the choices to be made and the trade-offs. “The future” is seen as relatively open to human agency. As the long-term perspective is one of the book’s main pillars, the book must be clearly positioned in the field of futures studies. A meta-discussion on “the future” is important because of the exclusive nature of futures studies as a scientific field. As the future is nonexistent, it must be constructed in the present base on conclusions from transformations of the past.
