This book tries to give an answer, one decade at a time, taking us on a fun scientific journey to discover out future up to 2080. We will live in smart cities, we will defeat pollution thanks to robotic trees, we will build space lifts a hundred thousand kilometres high, we will marry artificial intelligences, we will eat cricket flour, we will talk to animals… Massimo Temporelli, a science communicator capable of imagining the future, explains in a fun, simple way how our planet can become a wonderful place… with a little effort from all of us.
