A revealing exploration into how trust defines our lives, how it can be won and lost, and what its future might look like, in this fascinating title in the Melville House's FUTURES series.
In a society battered by unprecedented economic, political, cultural and ecological collapse, where do we place our trust, now that it is more vital than ever for our survival? How has that trust – in our laws, our media, our governments – been lost, and how can it be won back?
By examining a number of key areas of trust, including the police, the rule of law, the 21st century city and social media, Ros Taylor imagines what life might be like in decades to come if trust continues to erode.
And in a world fast approaching irreversible levels of ecological damage, how can we trust the custodians of these institutions to do the right thing – even as humanity faces the ultimate catastrophe...?
- Have conspiracy theories permanently damaged our society?
- Will technological advances, which require more and more of our human selves, ultimately be rejected by generations to come?
