They explore the possible outcomes of future, and consider how future decisions are turning points that may produce different global outcomes. This book focuses on a dozen or so intractable issues that span politics, religion, and technology, each addressed in individual chapters. Until now, most scenarios written by futurists have been built on cause and effect narratives or depended on numerical models derived from historical relationships. In contrast, many of the scenarios written for this book are point descriptions of future discontinuities, a form allows more thought-provoking presentations. Ultimately, this book demonstrates that counterfactual thinking and point scenarios of discontinuities are new, groundbreaking tools for futurists.. | 出版日期 | Book 2019 | 关键词 | Future Studies; Forecasting; Counterfactual Analysis; Black Swans; Nuclear Proliferation; Bioterrorism; Ar | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-18437-7 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-18439-1 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-18437-7 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
