Synopsis
For most of human history, life has been tragically short. The average life expectancy barely changed for thousands of years. But in the past two centuries, in one astonishing and incredibly short burst, humanity has changed all that.
Beyond the Future explores what caused this sudden shift in human experience. Why did life expectancy, population, and technological progress all begin to accelerate at roughly the same time, and continue to expand exponentially together? Was it random… or part of something larger?
This book takes readers on a compelling journey through:
The legends of ancient long-lived humans
The role of the Industrial Revolution and American innovation
The rise of modern medicine, sanitation, and computing
The convergence of AI, biotechnology, and consciousness
The moral and philosophical questions of radical longevity
The beginnings of improvement & advancement – from 1725 to 1825
The explosive evolving & ongoing progression – from 1825 to 2025
The phantastic though speculative frontier — from 2025 to 2525 and beyond
Written in a conversational, thought-provoking style, Beyond the Future connects the grand forces of history with the personal impact on everyday lives. It’s a book for thinkers, seekers, futurists, and anyone wondering if time is truly our greatest enemy… or our greatest opportunity.
If you’ve ever felt there’s more to this life, and more life yet to come, this book is for you.
Explore the high holy trinity of Longevity and Population Growth, Invention and Discovery, and Technological Evolution heading into the future.
