Welcome to the first issue of FutureTypes

Meet the first issue of FutureTypes!

Grounded in a view of the world developed through rigorous foresight strategy and radically human-centric insight, FutureTypes offers a different take on the topics and issues affecting us all and presents perspectives that are often raw, refined, or radical.

Our purpose is to provide a new perspective on topics like climate change, automation, and the a$$holification of society so we can all make better decisions about how we want our world to evolve. We want to open up a conversation suitable to making alternative decisions that might drive better business practice, social collaboration, and thoughtful change.

Our first issue explores the extremely knotty topic of climate change. Inside we explore some of the lesser-known topics regarding the growing climate crisis, and try to find a new way of thinking about our collective future.
