Thanks for sharing Ross. I love your choice of images and the snappy way that each scenario is summarised.
I have to say that I’m fascinated with the dichotomy between cohesion and fragmentation and the role of the market, which seems to be dominant under the Agent Economy scenario. Public interest seem to be better served under New Horizons where social, economic and environmental performance is best. Does that imply that the market has figured out how to be collaborative and therefore innovative, profitable and sustainable by 2030?

Very impressive visuals. Though provoking scenarios (I’d like to see new horizons happen). “Humanity maturing” reminded me of Doris Lessing’s “Shikasta” from the “Canopus in Argos” cycle.
