4. I Skuggan Av Framtiden
Boken är en tankeväckande analys av hur föreställningar om framtiden har format politiska idéer, vetenskapliga ambitioner och kultur under modern tid; genom historiska exempel och idéhistorisk granskning visar författaren hur utopier och katastrofscenarier används för att motivera handlingar i nuet, hur framstegstro och teknologisk optimism ofta förenas med politiska projekt, och varför en ansvarsfull framtidssyn kräver kritisk uppmärksamhet på både möjligheter och risker i samtidens idédebatt.
