I live happily on the shore. At the end of winter, I can put my small sailboat back in the water to go back fishing and enhance our food. All winter we ate what we sown and harvested. We live comfortably in a self-contained house (roof panel, water recovery). The entire global power grid has been shut down since the various wars. Everyone must manage alone or in community. The more no industry, the more nothing works; everything has to be done again, we find ourselves at the same level as our grandparents in their time. The world has been destroyed by wars, artificial intelligence. The positive aspect is the return of nature and nature, the work of its hands, safety and community life.

Il mondo in pericolo
In the not too distant future there will be the possibility to choose what to make of our beloved Earth.... imagine the choice like Matrix: Blue Pill or Red Pill? One could choose between a world without pollution, without wars and without social classes where everyone is equal to everyone. The challenge would be to commit to maintaining the state of things and always improving. The other choice would be a world in constant competition between peoples and in continuous oppression between them. And then there are them... the guardians of destiny! A special section of elected people who must ensure that the rebellious world does not conquer the world at peace with itself

Energy is cheap because new technologies make it possible. Good energy storage is taking place, hydrogen technology is advanced. Urban infrastructure is becoming smarter and electric cars and autonomous vehicles are becoming predominant. Artificial intelligence helps people do a lot of work. The altruism (contribution to society) of successful people (genius entrepreneurs) is such that many people have more time for creative activity. There is a high level of recycling and circular economy. New digital democratic models allow citizens to participate in policy-making in real time. Societal values have shifted from individual consumption to community and sustainability. Education and research are focused on creativity, critical thinking and mental well-being. Biotechnology and medical breakthroughs have extended people's lives and cured many previously considered incurable diseases.

Enesearendus, silmaringi laiendamine
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.
