Future Perfect: The Case For Progress In A Networked Age Audiobook (Free)

Combining the deft social analysis of Where Good Ideas Come From using the optimistic arguments of Everything Bad Is Good For You, NY Times bestselling article writer Steven Johnson’s Future Perfect makes the case that a new style of political change is on the rise, transforming from local governments to classrooms, from protest movements to healthcare. Johnson paints a compelling portrait of this fresh political worldview — influenced with the achievement and interconnectedness of the about Future Perfect: THE SITUATION For Progress INSIDE A Networked Age group Internet, but not reliant on high-tech solutions — that breaks with the conventional types of liberal or conservative thinking.

Along with his acclaimed gift for multi-disciplinary storytelling and big ideas, Johnson explores this new vision of progress through some fascinating narratives: through the “miracle on the Hudson” to the planning of the French railway system; from your fight against malnutrition in Vietnam to a incomprehensible outbreak of strange smells in downtown Manhattan; from underground music video artists towards the invention of the Internet itself.

At the same time when the conventional wisdom holds which the political system is hopelessly gridlocked with old ideas, Future Perfect makes the timely and inspiring case that progress is still possible, which new solutions are increasing. That is a hopeful, affirmative outlook for future years, from one of the most brilliant and motivating visionaries of modern culture.
