Introduction --
Scenarios for a post-pandemic world --
Critical shifts and scenarios ~
Navigating a new landscape -- A new planetary narrative -- A laboratory for the future -- World War Contagion: strategies in the fight against our common enemy -- Five ways our post-lockdown world could change for the better -- The Pandemic and the Medical Enlightenment: the view from 2035 -- Does the proverbial cloud created by the pandemic of 2020 have a silver lining? -- The case for new progressive, socially focused economic initiatives --
Society and social policy ~
Retroshock: a return to roots -- Policing the new normal -- This IS a drill: preparing for the next pandemic -- Preparing for a new way of being -- Zoomers learning about their roots in history class -- When the future was bright -- Post-pandemic homes --
Government and economy ~
Post-pandemic government: a futurist perspective -- More aware, more agile, more alive -- Using the crisis to remake government for the future -- The great separation -- Which way America? Four alternative futures -- Reshaping the economic agenda --
Business and technology ~
Snapback: don't expect a post-pandemic remote working boom -- Transformative re-structuring -- Navigating the post-pandemic economy: doing business at the speed of change -- The rise of personal digital twins -- The next futures of organizations, work, and the workplace -- Conclusion: the change agenda for a post-pandemic world --
While the world grapples with the current unfolding crisis, as futurists we know how important it is to also be thinking about the next horizon and beyond. This can help ensure that the decisions we make today do not simply lay the foundation for a new set of problems over the horizon. Equally, understanding the types of future that might emerge post-crisis can help us plan and prepare for those possibilities as we reshape our strategies today. Finally, such future insights might help us spot, train for, and adapt to the new opportunities, risks, and challenges that could arise as a post-pandemic world unfolds. In response to the need for future perspectives, Fast Future wanted to create this fast track book, which draws on the expertise, insight, ambition, and vision of twenty five future thinkers from around the world. The goal is to provide individuals, leaders, and organizations with foresight, insight, challenge, visionary thinking, and navigational guidance on what lies ahead.
