Futurist & journalist Peter Leyden shows how we are in the early days of a biotechnology revolution, and that fundamental shifts are on the horizon for health care, food production, and materials engineering.

From the Long Now Seminar, "The Transformation: A Future History of the World from 02020 to 02050" by Peter Leyden. Watch the full talk here: [ Ссылка ]

A compelling case can be made that we are in the early stages of another tech and economic boom in the next 30 years that will help solve our era’s biggest challenges like climate change, and lead to a societal transformation that will be understood as civilizational change by the year 02100.

Peter Leyden has built the case for this extremely positive yet plausible scenario of the period from 02020 to 02050 as a sequel to the Wired cover story and book he co-authored with Long Now cofounder Peter Schwartz 25 years ago called The Long Boom: The Future History of the World 1980 to 2020.

His latest project, The Transformation, is an optimistic analysis on what lies ahead, based on deep interviews with 25 world-class experts looking at new technologies and long-term trends that are largely positive, and could come together in surprisingly synergistic ways.

"The Transformation: A Future History of the World from 02020 to 02050" was given on February, 9 02021 as part of Long Now's Seminar series. The series was started in 02003 to build a compelling body of ideas about long-term thinking from some of the world's leading thinkers. The Seminars take place in San Francisco and are curated and hosted by Stewart Brand. To follow the talks, you can:
