About the Book

They warned us. Not in slogans. Not in press releases. Not in Twitter threads or TED Talks. They warned us in books, essays, interviews, and thought experiments. They warned us with metaphors and manifestos, parables and polemics. And for the most part, we ignored them. This book is about those voices. They came from across centuries and continents: poets, scientists, philosophers, engineers, journalists, prophets. Some were household names. Others were dismissed, marginalized, or forgotten. What united them wasn't ideology or discipline, but vision. Each of them looked beyond the surface of their time - and saw the future rushing toward us. And then they tried to stop it. The Premise They Tried to Warn Us began as a podcast (which you can access at: https: //open.spotify.com/show/3IlsQV7KXuaseN1d3n7Hix). A thought experiment. What if we could bring back the thinkers who saw what was coming - and ask them what they make of our world today?
