Which Future? will change forever the possibilities you imagine for the future. Relentless climate disruption and severe societal inequities threaten Earth's well-being and humanity's future. But are chaotic, dystopian scenarios inevitable? Not if we recognize our collective choices as the very foundation of these destructive forces. Which Future? presents a bold, provocative alternative to conventional thinking, based on an imaginative synthesis of 21st century cognitive, cultural, and biological sciences. First, it explains how, because human reality is socially constructed, we have the power to control our own destiny. Second, it spells out the way humanity is interconnected with nature, so that our very survival depends on keeping nature healthy. Finally, it fleshes out the full worldview of "e;natural humanism,"e; built on the values of true democracy and sound natural science, a vision of people interconnected with the planet and each other, and morally committed to everyone's well-being and fulfillment.
