Overview

The future is not what it used to be... Change the story, redefine progress, become a good ancestor! New Brunswickers are hungry for hopeful stories of the future to counter the stereotype of hard times in the Maritimes. Letters from the Future presents a sample of these hopeful stories, written by people who care deeply about New Brunswick. The authors envision advances in climate change action, food security, sustainable livelihoods, forest restoration, municipal planning, business development, social justice, human rights, and health care-to mention only a few of the thirty-seven stories that weave their way through this book, along with Ian Smith's delightful illustrations. Letters from the Future is a book of speculative nonfiction. The authors imagine the kind of changes that redefine progress and the accomplishments that flow from these changes, but they are writing about the real world, not a fictional world. ...the study of the future is more than an intellectual curiosity; it is essential to the survival of humankind itself. (Kenneth Boulding) This is the study that Letters from the Future invites readers to take up as we do everything we can to create the better world we know is possible.
