A scientist offers compelling visions and potential pitfalls of the futurein "a journey through time, space, and the human experience" (Dr. Tanya Harrison, coauthor of For All Humankind).
Humanity has gained the ability not only to imagine the future, but to design and engineer it. At times entertaining, and at others profound, Future Rising provides an original perspective on our relationship with the future.

As innovation and rapidly shifting norms and expectations drive our world at breakneck speed, we sometimes need to find a still, quiet place to pause and think. Future Rising creates such a place, where we can take advantage of our species' knowledge of world history and the importance of science to piece together a positive future.
To create a good future, we must rediscover the past. Our relationship with the future is inextricably intertwined with where we've come from, who we are, and what we aspire to. Future Rising starts at the beginning of all things with the Big Bang and traces a pathway along the emergence of intelligent life, through what makes humans uniquely capable of imagining and creating different futures.
