Bussi

I wake up to compete with the sun, I often lose. I live on a self-driving bus and have given myself permission to grow a beard after I've turned 80. My finances are in balance. Living in a car is cheaper than living in a rental apartment. All my furniture and stuff are old, mostly second-hand. Retirement doesn't have to fight too much bureaucracy to make money. You can also work a little more freely. My motorhome has a good sized kitchen and a separate bedroom. There is a small sauna in the bathroom. There is a small studio in the living area. The car is allowed to drive completely autonomously, no more need for a person next to it. Moving around is easy. Sometimes my girlfriend and I travel a little further. The climate in Finland is starting to be warm enough, especially in the summer. There are still no flying cars, no one has even seriously tried to make them. I don't think they'll ever come. My bipolar disorder has been brought under control when the causes of it have finally been understood. The right diet is crucial. All unnecessary conversational therapy has been eliminated from the treatment companies. I am reasonably happy with my life.

I would like the future to be much more inclusive and multicultural but respecting local history and traditions. Free of ethnic and religious conflicts, founded on respect for the human being as such, much more resilient and altruistic than it is today. Disconnected and less subordinate to social networks and the like, where humans are aware of their role, of the importance of defending the planet, protecting every living being, animal and plant as well as every form of nature even inanimate existing on the globe.

By 2040, I'll be almost 80 years old. It follows, of course, that I hope that elderly care will then be at a high level ….I want my children to be healthy and happy and not have a difficult life. World peace would be a great bonus, but I'm afraid that's an illusion. What did not succeed in 2000 years is …..Harmony is perhaps a better word. Solutions have been devised for a better environment and a fairer distribution of wealth would also be very pleasant. In my ideal future, cell phones would take on a smaller role. Genuine communication between people makes a big difference.

Yhdessä luotu parempi tulevaisuus
By 2040, my world will be full of sustainable and humane technology. I have always dreamed that every person could live without threats to the environment or health, so I would like to see a Europe where climate change has been overcome and well-being is for everyone. In cities, green roofs and vertical gardens produce food locally and there is no more food waste – AI accurately predicts needs. Our energy comes only from renewable sources, and the seas are clean again. People move seamlessly on electric, shared-ownership vehicles, and there is no traffic pollution. Healthcare has evolved so that diseases are effectively prevented, and everyone receives personalised care without waiting in line. Mental health is seen as important as physical health, and society supports everyone's well-being. The future in which technology and nature live in harmony is not a dream – it is a choice we made together.

Future. This is a story set there. There are trees with all fruits, flying machines, and artificial intelligence dominates the world. People have been replaced in part by robots, and the efficiency of the world has improved dramatically. For a better world wait until 2040 to have all this. Or is all this just science fiction? Who knows. We will only find out by living.
