The Next Chapter

The Next Chapter examines such controversial, cutting edge ideas as the Seldyn Paradigm, the Strangelove Paradox, Martin Ford's description of a society where virtually all the work is done by machines, the Singularity of Ray Kurzweil and others, and philosopher Nick Bostrom's theory of reality as a simulation by a super civilization. These ideas are the often discussed among the educated elite. They are likely to shape the future of humanity in the 21st Century.

The Next Chapter looks at their political and social implications while bringing these ideas to a far broader audience. Is this the direction we as a species really want to go? What will happen to traditional family life, to religion and spirituality, and to the political liberties we enjoy today? Are there other options and if so what are they?

Of particular concern is how to solve problems common to many of the major world powers. While each has a distinctive history, culture, and political system they all appear to suffer from endemic corruption of the political process, a creeping erosion of civil liberties, and excessive concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a small elite.

Can we direct our future? Tune into The Next Chapter to find out.
