Publishers Description: So, verily I say unto you, brothers and sisters - cast aside your digital rosary beads and look more closely at the world around you. Or better still, roll up your trouser legs and join me for a paddle through the shallow water at the edge of the future. Be curious, be positive, and embrace your inner sceptic! Do you really understand the world around you Do you know how crowdsourcing works, what terraforming does, and what alternative currency is Do you believe Google is great - or is there a sneaky feeling in the back of your mind that it might know way too much about you And, by the way, just what happened to the great promises of the future, the paperless offices, the Jetsons-style commutes Come with guide and host of Radio Nationals Future Tense, Antony Funnell, as he unravels the mysteries of the world weve created, cuts through the mumbo jumbo, warns of the dangers and laughs at the hype. Smart, articulate and refreshingly humorous, The Future and #relatednonsense delivers the answers to things you should know - but were too busy or too confused to ask.
