The Bioelectromagnetic Age

In 2040, many of the most innovative breakthroughs being developed to contribute to sustainability, productivity and quality of life involve the synergistic combination of knowledge related to biology, science and technology. One of the biggest breakthroughs that has been achieved is Bioelectromagnetic Design – the customised design of the electromagnetic characteristics of environments and technologies to enhance wellbeing and biological functioning.

Interest in Bioelectromagnetic Design had initially arisen in popularity, and necessity, as a result of many in the insurance industry refusing to cover health issues related to electromagnetic pollution, the growing incidences of Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity in many of the world’s populations, and a number of enlightened health agencies advocating the adoption of stronger protective guidelines.

It received a further boost when entrepreneurs recognised that if they took into account the suggestions of ‘early warning’ scientists when designing technologies and products, the risks they faced were reduced and their opportunities for disruptive innovation increased. The growing interest and efficacy of electromedicine further increased the appeal of such tactics, and by 2035 such approaches had become mainstream with the creation of more bioelectromagnetically healthy environments and technologies becoming the choice of the masses.

The knowledge that we can work in closer harmony with nature through having a better understanding of the biological effects of the electromagnetic spectrum, and can use that to our advantage and the advantage of the planet itself in its extended recovery period, is been a real blessing.

dal crollo alla rinascita
It's been 25 years since Trump won the election: The war in Ukraine, the genocide of the Palestinians by the Israelis, the increasingly authoritarian governments seemed to shrink more and more personal spaces and freedoms. However, something began to move with the Sebia demonstrations, which were soon joined by those in some European countries. The United States was dragged into the abyss by the Trump government, which was forced to leave for protests. Putin, a few years after the end of the war, died in Ukraine, leaving room for a new Soviet spring. From the 1930s a serious global economic crisis began, which led to real reflection and a paradigm shift. They decreased consumption, returned to small-scale production for local consumption, travel costs increased and returned to be a privilege for the wealthy few. In Italy the population suffered a drastic decline, leading the housing market to collapse and the value of houses to nothing. Luckily I had continued to keep my family home in the mountains, where I moved to live growing a vegetable garden and raising chickens.

Public health for better future
By 2040, public health wasn’t just something governments talked about—it was built into everyday life. Cities had clean air, more green spaces, and fewer cars. Grocery stores stocked healthy food at affordable prices, and fast food had real nutritional standards. People didn’t wait to get sick anymore. Wearable health trackers could catch issues early, sending alerts before a cold turned into pneumonia. Doctor visits were quick, often virtual, and mental health check-ins were as normal as dentist appointments. Workplaces had finally caught up too. Lunch breaks were actually breaks, not just eating at your desk. Four-day workweeks became standard, and burnout rates plummeted. Schools taught kids how to manage stress, not just pass tests. The biggest change? Trust. People actually believed in healthcare again because it worked for them, not against them. By 2040, public health wasn’t a luxury—it was just life. And life was better.

Compassion for our climate
I would like to see people genuinely making an effort to protect our environment. I hope that we will have made serious improvements in terms of climate change, with the elimination of single use plastic and that we have reduced the fast fashion trend significantly. I hope that we won’t have lost sincere human connection in favour of online interactions and that the human race continues to value empathy, kindness and compassion towards one another.

It's summer 2040. I stand on top of a hill, the wild forest is behind me. The air is clean and easy to breathe, the sun is shining and the birds are singing. Insects buzzing around me flying from flower to flower, swallows flying in the sky. Far away there is a blue lake, the water is clear and clean. I see a lone fisherman in the waters experiencing his nets. She and her family are having dinner with fresh fish today. On the right side of the lake there are grazing cows, which are allowed to keep their calves and are not taken away after birth. On the left is an eyeless forest. That's where I'm going with my dog. I'm going to stay in a forest where every wild animal gets to live in a species-typical way. There are no wars, no climate change, no famine. There is peace in the world, and so do I.
