How Soon Is Now? : The Handbook for Global Change

We are at a time of rapid innovation, accelerated progress and ecological threat. The actions we take over the next few years may well determine humanity's future. What can we do to bring about the best possible outcome for all? Join radical futurist philosopher Daniel Pinchbeck as he outlines a vision for a decentralized mass social movement that will address this crisis and create a regenerative society. Covering a range of subjects from technology to farming, religion to relationships, media to finance, along with politics and ideology, How Soon is Now? proposes a path forward that benefits our human family and the larger community of life. Pinchbeck's thesis is that the ecological crisis provides an opportunity for a rapid evolution of human society on all levels. By confronting this collective ordeal, we can transcend our current limitations. As we pass through this initiation, humanity can realize itself as one unified being, a planetary super-organism in a symbiotic relationship with the Earth's ecology and the entire web of life.
