What are the most radical transformations on the horizon of our world?

Shining a light on the many possibilities of the future from multiple astonishing perspectives, this book explores how new ages are imagined in our century. Bringing together over 20 prominent thinkers from a variety of disciplines, it examines the potential dimensions of the future and how they will affect everything from our culture to our politics, from our bodies to our minds. As future eras remain cloaked in relative obscurity, they compel the invention of new techniques for navigating those realms of visionary speculation.

With deeply immersive entries on captivating phenomena occurring across all regions of our global reality, this book brings novel theoretical interpretations of transpiring events and the great ciphers they reveal. This includes hidden questions surrounding artificial intelligence, virtual reality, mass migration, speed, climate, geo-engineering, automation, and many more.

Moreover, this book skilfully tethers inexhaustible abstract concepts like the infinite and the illusory to the emergence of new knowledge systems that allow analysis of the unknown, ultimately offering insight on the rarest features of futurity. Filled with original impressions from experts in the domains of literature, philosophy, visual art, architecture, design, media studies, ecology, anthropology, and more, Futures Theory contemplates the new variables that will expand and distort such fields in irreversibly compelling ways, opening up discussion of the steps toward a new atmosphere for thought itself in the epochs to come.

Jason B. Mohaghegh is Associate Professor of Comparative Literature at Babson College, USA. He is the director of the Future Studies Program; he is also the Director of Transdisciplinary Studies for the New Centre for Research & Practice, co-editor of the Suspensions book beries (Bloomsbury), and founder of the 5th Disappearance Lab.
