What Future 2018 cover

What Future: The Year's Best Writing on What's Next for People, Technology, and the Planet, edited by Meehan Crist and Rose Eveleth, is a best of the year anthology featuring new writing by and about the scientists, writers, journalists, and philosophers who are proposing the options that lay not just ahead, but beyond us. Focused on in-depth long-form journalism and essays, What Future tackles issues critical to our future: climate change and human migration, feminism and gender politics, digital rights and AI. From the food systems of the future and built-in environments to constantly evolving systems of justice and surveillance, what kind of future do we envision for people and the planet?

Praise for the previous edition of What Future One of Smithsonian Magazine's 10 Best Science Books of the Year "A sober, no-holds-barred view of the world that lies ahead... provocative and studded with insights." —Kirkus Reviews "A vital collection of forward-looking writing... The overall tone is worried but optimistic. Don’t look for utopian fantasies here—look for topical, intelligent projections of a realistically better future." —Publishers Weekly
