What’s next? Eine Geschichte von übermorgen Woher sollen wir wissen, was in den nächsten hundert, tausend oder sogar einer Milliarde Jahre geschieht? So paradox es klingt: aus einem Geschichtsbuch. David Christian, der Begründer der Big History, die Erkenntnisse von Geologie, Astronomie und Biologie synthetisiert, hat es geschrieben. Es ist ein Leitfaden dafür, wie wir uns die Welt des fortgeschrittenen Anthropozäns vorzustellen haben, aber auch das Ende von allem. Eine Bedienungsanleitung für die Zukunft und ein historischer Rahmen, mit dessen Hilfe wir klarer sehen – bei der Suche nach Lösungen für die Herausforderungen, vor denen wir als Spezies stehen: Klimawandel und Artensterben. »David Christian bereitet uns auf die großen Herausforderungen vor, vor denen wir als Menschheit stehen.« Bill Gates

Every second of our lives - whether we're looking both ways before crossing the street, celebrating the birth of a baby, or moving to a new city - we must cope with an unknowable future. How do we do this? And how do we, like most living organisms, manage this impossible challenge quite well... at least most of the time? David Christian, historian and bestselling author of Origin Story, is renowned for pioneering the emerging discipline of Big History, which surveys the whole of the past. But with Future Stories, he casts his sharp analytical eye forward, offering an introduction to the strange world of the future, and a guide to what we think we know about it at all scales, from the predictive mechanisms of single-celled organisms and tomato plants to the merging of colossal galaxies billions of years from now. Drawing together science and history, philosophy and theology from a huge range of places and times, Christian explores how we prepare for uncertain futures, including the future of human evolution, artificial intelligence, interstellar travel, and more. By linking the study of the past much more closely to the study of the future, we can begin to imagine what the world will look like in the next hundred years and consider solutions to the biggest challenges facing us all.

Most historians study the smallest slivers of time, emphasizing specific dates, individuals, and documents. But what would it look like to study the whole of history, from the big bang through the present day -- and even into the remote future? How would looking at the full span of time change the way we perceive the universe, the earth, and our very existence? These were the questions David Christian set out to answer when he created the field of "Big History," the most exciting new approach to understanding where we have been, where we are, and where we are going. In "Origin Story", Christian takes readers on a wild ride through the entire 13.8 billion years we've come to know as "history." By focusing on defining events (thresholds), major trends, and profound questions about our origins, Christian exposes the hidden threads that tie everything together -- from the creation of the planet to the advent of agriculture, nuclear war, and beyond. With stunning insights into the origin of the universe, the beginning of life, the emergence of humans, and what the future might bring, "Origin Story" boldly reframes our place in the cosmos.
