Description
The Future of Stuff by Vinay Gupta explores what kind of world we will live in when every item of property has a digital trace. This could mean that property and ownership become as fluid as film is today, with items summoned on demand and dismissed with a swipe. The book considers how this shift might impact our relationships with stuff, manufacturing, supply, and the planet. It asks what our possessions say about us and how we will buy, rent, share, and dispose of things in the future. Part of a five-book series called FUTURES essays, The Future of Stuff presents Vinay Gupta's original vision for a singular aspect of the future that inspires hope or reticence. Read individually, these essays will inform, entertain, and challenge readers. Together, they form a picture of what might lie ahead and invite us to imagine how we can make the transition from here to there.
