In 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Rob Hopkins responded the way a lot of people did: by starting a podcast. In each episode, Hopkins and his guests would 'time travel' together to the year 2030 - walking down imagined future streets, talking with imagined future neighbours, visiting imagined future local businesses. While Hopkins's guests came from all walks of life, they all shared a willingness to suspend their worries about the future long enough to mentally inhabit and then describe a world they were thrilled to be a part of. What Hopkins discovered was no less profound: this simple exercise of visiting a positive future forced him to rethink the work he'd been doing as a climate activist for decades. This book is the result of that radical disruption - and Hopkins's deep dive into the people and movements throughout history who have used visions of the future to inspire positive change on a large and dramatic scale.
