Will the human lineage survive, reasonably happily, into the distant future? Will we survive the next millennium? Will the next 1,000 years be particularly difficult ... or just plain difficult? Supposing that we survive the next 1,000 years, will we eventually become extinct (like most species) or continue to evolve? Deep Futures asks these questions, and more.

Doug Cocks looks at the predictions of serious futurologists for what lies ahead of us all, looking as far into the future as the next glacial age. He reflects on ideas for thinking about the future, drawn from an array of disciplines, and on the broad questions that will continue to confront humanity. Finally, he identifies strategies that might be adopted to maximize humanity's prospects into the near future and beyond.
