Description
Contemporary Futures: Perspectives from Social Anthropology explores how our visions of the future shape our present and its impact on society. This collection of essays by social anthropologists examines the effects of different futures visualizations on group identity, relationships with other cultures, and our understanding of self and survival.
The contributors provide a cross-cultural perspective on various futures scenarios, discussing their implications for our daily lives and global resources. By examining how we imagine the future, this book offers insights into the complexities of human societies and our place within them.
