Description
The Future: A Very Short Introduction by Jennifer Gidley explores our enduring quest to understand what lies ahead. From ancient sacrifices to modern-day predictions, humans have sought to create certainty in the unknown. Yet, despite advances in science and technology, there remains no guarantee of predicting the future. This book delves into some of humanity's most pressing questions: What is the nature of the future? Can it be predicted or are we free to shape our own destinies through our thoughts and actions? Gidley examines these topics and provides insights on how we can learn to study the future. A concise and thought-provoking introduction to the subject, The Future is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of time and its impact on human society.
