Practitioners

These links point to philosophers, futurists, scientists, strategists and knowledge designers who are challenging our understanding of the world and how it works. Their practices range from the more pop forecasting of societal trends to analysis of the deeper news and pure scientific research. Don't blame us if you get hot under the collar from reading some of their work! But we can at least vouch for their integrity.
