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.

Demain, peut être

in the near or more or less distant future. I'll no longer be part of this world, so I can only imagine what my children's future will be like. Their respiratory systems will have deteriorated, and they'll have to breathe through filters. No doubt the war will have passed, and the population will have declined sharply. The box system will still exist, if people don't get moving; they'll just execute and obey. They'll probably watch films, reflecting trees and nature. Women will no longer bear children. Everything will take place in laboratories. Progress will be driven by artificial intelligence, with its good points and especially its bad, not because of AI, but because of men who see only profit. I've known horse-drawn carts, steam trains, rockets, computers, cell phones and color TV. But where is simple happiness?

Zukunft

I would like to see a Europe without wars and despots. And less garbage and dirt on the streets. If there are no more wars anywhere, everyone can stay in their own country (except for vacation purposes) Weapons (including knives) should be banned. It should be possible to treat illnesses in clinics - including cancer. Affordable housing for all. Inflation would be abolished

La société en 2040

Society in 2040 is more tolerant, with individuals less individualistic, but with a real awareness of the importance of "forming society", of being a community of solidarity, responsible for its future and its environment. Man has realized that he can be the key to his own salvation. Individuals are now more involved on a daily basis in helping others, preserving the environment and sharing wealth. Individual aspirations have given way to a collective, voluntary dynamic. Everyone is involved at his or her own pace, providing help, a gesture or time for an environmental or social cause. The economy is no longer based solely on personal enrichment, but values work and investment.

Nouveaux modes de préservation de l'espèce humaine

In the 2040s, advances in medicine enabled AI to create cocoons where patients could receive treatment and get their bodies back in tip-top shape. Market gardening and animal husbandry were revamped to provide the population with as much healthy food as possible. The development of renewable energies reduced pollution. A worldwide policy of birth control has been introduced.
