This work is engaged in future studies in a very original and genuine way. It shows in particular how the articulation of knowledge needed for a deeper understanding of the phenomenon of the future is still much ignored within the scientific circles . Rolande Borrelly, Presidente, Institut des sciences mathematiques et economiques appliquees, Paris This book is a major collection of some critical essays on recent technological innovations such as energy technologies, nanotechnology, 3D printing, robotics, AI, space exploration. It brings to light many uncertainties in innovation processes and their evolving future impacts . Andrzej Cichocki, Professor artificial intelligence and biomedical applications, Skolkovo Institute of Science of Technology, Moscow The book is an essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the future courses of human societies, especially the debates concerning technological evolutions and their long-term outcomes . Enzo Di Fabrizio, Professor in physical science, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology, Saudi Arabia This insightful book explores the far-off future interdisciplinarilly covering social sciences and natural sciences. Its broad and diverse approaches open a horizon to new areas of the future studies . Jin K. Lee, President, Korea Social Science Research Council, Seoul This timely and thought-provoking volume provides a convenient map for a journey into the future where technology should not, and cannot, arrive alone without its eternal companions of social science, humanities, art, law and ethics.

Wisensale, Professor of public policy, University of Connecticut, USA
