The canals of Amsterdam reflected the floating gardens that hung above the streets, fed by smart irrigation systems that cleverly reused rainwater. Cyclists silently drifted by on self-charging e-bikes, while autonomous vehicles silently delivered their passengers. The years between 2025 and 2050 were marked by immense transitions and sociological changes: the climate crisis had led to large-scale renewable energy projects, and artificial intelligence had completely changed the way people worked. Universal Basic Income had put an end to extreme poverty, and most people spent their time on creativity, research and collaboration with confidence. The fears of 2025 had proven largely unfounded. The technology had not replaced man, but instead put in their power to focus on what has real value; each other.
