What if time isn't running out... but just beginning?
Clocks, Calendars and the Great Convergence
...is happening much sooner than anticipated, and many if not most are woefully unprepared for what’s coming. Yeah, there’s some turmoil and chaos and anarchy coming soon down the pike, but I’m talking about the opposite of all that. We are on the early cusp of some of the greatest achievements and accomplishments in all of history. It is, if one is knowledgeable and prepared, the greatest time to be alive. If one is not quite up on things to come, now is good time to get acclimated. The future is now, and time is not what most of us think it is.
For most of human history, life has been tragically short. The average life expectancy barely changed for thousands of years. But in the past two centuries, in one astonishing and incredibly short burst, humanity has changed all that.
Beyond the Future explores what caused this sudden shift in human experience. Why did life expectancy, population, and technological progress all begin to accelerate at roughly the same time, and continue to expand exponentially together? Was it random… or part of something larger?
This book takes readers on a compelling journey through:
The legends of ancient long-lived humans
The role of the Industrial Revolution and American innovation
The rise of modern medicine, sanitation, and computing
The convergence of AI, biotechnology, and consciousness
The moral and philosophical questions of radical longevity
The beginnings of improvement & advancement – from 1725 to 1825
The explosive evolving & ongoing progression – from 1825 to 2025
The phantastic though speculative frontier — from 2025 to 2525 and beyond
Written in a conversational, thought-provoking style, Beyond the Future connects the grand forces of history with the personal impact on everyday lives. It’s a book for thinkers, seekers, futurists, and anyone wondering if time is truly our greatest enemy… or our greatest opportunity. If you’ve ever felt like there’s more to this life, and more life yet to come, this book is definitely for you!
Beyond the Future is a sweeping, all-encompassing, mind-expanding exploration of how lifespan, population, and technology all began to rise; not slowly, but explosively, in the recent past. Blending historical insight, scientific curiosity, and speculative vision, this book traces the great convergence of human health, invention, and consciousness.
From tales of long-ago men and women who lived for 900 years and more... to the possibilities of age slowing and even age reversal via artificial intelligence; from open defecation to nerve implants, from lobotomies to neuroplasticity, this is the story of time itself; what it is and what it is not. And how we might finally have enough of it.
Whether you’re a skeptic, a dreamer, or someone just trying to understand where we’re all heading (and why...), Beyond the Future will challenge your assumptions and leave you asking the one question that really matters:
How much time is enough?
