Resetting the Future: World 50.0

The pandemic has presented an opportunity to reflect, reimagine, and reset the world. The ancient Greeks referred to time using two different concepts: “chronos” and “kairos.” Whereas the former refers to traditional time measured by a ticking clock, the latter refers to “deep time,” when everything is possible. This book is a journey to create a community for building a better future. The WORLD 50.0 movement is working toward building a better, more inclusive, and sustainable future. Concurrently, initiatives like the United Planet (UP), Futurian, and Regenopolis are working toward a bluer, greener future by catalyzing actions needed to realize that future. The book shares the dreams of the world's top scientists, thinkers, and innovators who are continuously working on inventing the future, including transitioning to become a multi-planetary species, brain-human interfaces combined with exoskeletons, and nanomedicine reforming health care. The aim of the WORLD 50.0 movement is to build a better future together faster by crowdsourcing inputs on a global scale and engaging and scaling a community of contributors.
