The future - the word itself is so mysterious that it is very difficult to think about what might be behind it. Be it in the near future or much further away. If you think about it, it's an area that's a little close to your heart and a little familiar. The book world. Will there be more books in the future? There are already e-books and e-books. Or, on the contrary, we have returned to the present day, where the paper book still has a role to play. I would very much hope so. All I'd think about is - picking up a brand new book that smells of ink - waiting to see what content opens up in it. However, there are robots who will bring you a book and read it out. Good, comfortable, of course, but would you like to. Or maybe the robots are already so good that they don't have that metallic sound in their speech. They are also able to discuss what they have read. One thing is the emotion that comes from reading them, but another thing is also what the other (others) find in this text. There are probably no libraries anymore. Or, if it is, it has all retreated into the world of robots - service, communication, etc. Machines drive between bookshelves, find what you want, drive to the next robot, who will note it somewhere. There has to be an overview of where the books are. I feel like I'm going to become a robot myself, a marching step into the library, a book in a bag, thanks and the whole story. Communication regresses because there is no need for a large vocabulary. Robots are talented and advanced, but they don't replace humans. At the same time, we can't stand still and shout, we're already fine. In fact, it is.

Realistische Dystopie
In 2050, the earth will not be a better place than it is today. People will still be fighting senseless wars and hatred will not have been overcome in either the real or the virtual world. Resources will become scarcer in some areas, but intensive research has found ways to largely compensate for this. The division of the world has also changed. Countries that used to play a leading role in the economy and politics have, in some cases, become insignificant players on the brink of regression from industrialized to emerging economies as a result of bad decisions by egomaniacal politicians. Neither their energy supply nor the shortage of skilled workers can be brought under control. Religious beliefs will play a greater role and minorities will often dictate to majorities how they should behave. Woke-ness will largely eradicate feminism, so that everything women have fought hard for for decades will dissolve into nothing. We are abolishing ourselves, human dignity, human rights and democracy because we make everything equally bad and insignificant out of a misunderstood understanding of tolerance. Only the stupidity of humans will not die out, but will become even greater, while the AI secretly laughs and is happy not to be homo "sapiens".

Familie
I would like it to be easier to build and convert houses. That young families are given more support so that they can have a secure home. I also hope that my children are better supported by the state in their own child planning and that they feel financially secure during their parental leave

Le temps qui passe
The morning sun filtered through the dense foliage of the trees lining my Parisian apartment. Once a gray, noisy avenue, my street was now a verdant oasis, where birdsong replaced the roar of cars. The transformation of Europe had been radical. In 2025, we were on the brink of a climatic precipice. But a global awakening had taken place. Europe had embarked on an ambitious reforestation and sustainable development project. Cities were redesigned, and nature reclaimed its rights. Gasoline-powered cars disappeared, replaced by electric vehicles and efficient public transport. My day began with a bike ride along the old tracks, now transformed into winding cycle paths through parks and forests. Lunch consisted of fresh, local produce grown on rooftops and in community gardens dotted around the city. The afternoon was devoted to work, but even the offices were green and bright, with open coworking spaces and soothing views of the surrounding nature. Life in 2050 was slower, more conscious. We had swapped the frantic race for a pace more respectful of our environment and well-being. Europe had become a model of sustainable development, a society where technology and nature coexisted in harmony. And every day, I was delighted to have contributed, in my own small way, to this transformation.

Un espoir de bonheur collectif.
A European future capable of managing international crises with clear and precise objectives. Perhaps a new constitution less oriented towards a liberal economy (which doesn't mean freedom at all) but more towards respect for individual freedoms in relation to multinationals, more ecology, more autonomy in terms of food self-sufficiency. A greater capacity for energy autonomy, too, by being inventive in this area. Mass investment in research in this field would be an option. Regaining our pharmaceutical sovereignty would be reassuring. It would also be reassuring to see a return to social progress, and to stop blaming the weakest members of society (women, the unemployed, immigrants, etc.), who are not responsible for the crises we're going through. The culprits are the economic system (mainly liberal) and over-protected professional politicians. Limiting personal fortunes might be an interesting way of avoiding an oligarchic drift.
