A World With(Out)
What would happen if the world as you know it changed?
Consider a world in which a city’s police force resembles the people they represent. What about a world without capitalism as we know it? Would society crumble, or would we find ourselves flush with new opportunities? What if your biological clock never stopped ticking, freeing you up to do all the things you never thought you had time for? These are just some of the scenarios we’ll be presenting as visionary thinkers imagine a world that isn’t the one we’ve come to know.
