Future Vision

‘Welcome to 2070…’

‘Future Vision’ is quite a curious book. In the introduction, the authors raise the question of whether it is ‘fact or fiction?’, explaining that although they have spoken to ‘dozens’ of experts and read ‘hundreds’ of books, basing the book on real possibilities, no one knows how things will actually be in the future. The book shows their possible version of the future, a future in which countries have come together to solve problems and have created a better world.

A character named Kit leads readers through the book, showing what life is like in 2070. Possible future transport, homes, food and wildlife are shown with ideas about where AI might lead- in this case AI holobots! There is much to absorb and reflect on in these pages- and much that may spark lively debate and plenty of questioning! I remember watching ‘Tomorrow’s World’ and feeling a mixture of wonder, fear and excitement about some of the things they introduced and I am sure this book will have the same effect!

Excellent for sparking discussions in school or at home, ‘Future Vision’ offers an optimistic view of the future.
