I've been eagerly awaiting comments and book recommendations addressing your question 'What does a non-apocalyptic culture-and-planet flourishing future look like?' Perhaps other readers are struggling with that as much as I am. (Though I see there are over 100 utopian novels listed on Wikipedia: perhaps it's time for me to re-read Aldous Huxley's Island). In the meantime, you presented the quesstion as a challenge for yourself too -- so don't hold back!
Hi John, I've been hoping for comments and book req's too! My friend Forrest did email to say he wonders why people are so pessimistic (himself included) when our life expectancy and quality of living have improved so much. So there's one response! I feel like there must be books. Probably obvious ones!
