On June 12, 2040, Anna wakes up in her apartment hovering over Paris. Thanks to new energy technologies, his house is powered by highly efficient solar modules and integrated micro-wind turbines. Her voice assistant, equipped with advanced artificial intelligence, reminds her of her schedule: Today it takes the Hyperloop train to Berlin, a journey of only 30 minutes.

As she walks down the street, she crosses a green city where individual cars have disappeared in favor of autonomous and ecological locomotion. The facades of the buildings are covered with vegetation and the air is pure thanks to the air filters installed everywhere. At the station, it climbs into a transparent capsule, which is driven at high speed in a vacuum.

Arriving in Berlin, she takes part in a conference on ocean regeneration, a project that has been successful since 2040 thanks to courageous European policies. The Europe of the future is able to meet the challenges of climate change while ensuring a sustainable and harmonious way of life.

Lavoro leggero e tempo per sè

In 2040 many jobs will be replaced or helped by technology, this means less time will be needed to do them. I would like to see us be able to divide the work among the same number of people, so that no one is left jobless, but give a lighter work schedule (half of today's) to everyone.

Every human being is valuable regardless of his or her nationality, age, level of education, etc. The state has high social guarantees. The unemployment rate is very low. The tax system is benevolent to the population. Income tax 15%, VAT max 18%. Maximum 4 working days per week. Free medical care, free higher education. Public transport is free. Utilities are cheap. Borders are open, people can travel where they want. There is no threat of war, there are no wars in the world.

peut être

I don't know because I'm 68. In 15 years, I may not be around to know whether 2040 will be the future. Let's remain optimistic, but in 2040, at 83, my life is behind me. I'm thinking of my son, his family and, above all, my grandchildren. Will France still be a democracy? Has the Great Replacement begun? Has war devastated Europe? No, none of this: people have mellowed, our leaders have found solutions for a peaceful world, the ecological revolution is beginning to bear fruit, and the world is calmer and more serene. My grandchildren are flourishing in their work and in their lives. Their future looks bright.

Ma vie

In 2040 I'll be 67.... I hope to live out my days in peace and quiet, having found peace and learned from my mistakes. I imagine myself surrounded by my daughter and the family she will have built. I'd like to see a world without hatred, empathetic, where human beings take their place and accept that difference is a source of richness.
