While the world grapples with the current unfolding crisis, as futurists we know how important it is to also be thinking about the next horizon and beyond. This can help ensure that the decisions we make today don’t lay the foundation for a new set of problems over the horizon. Equally, understanding the types of future that might emerge post-crisis can help us plan and prepare for those possibilities as we reshape our strategies today. Finally, such future insights might help us spot, train for, and adapt to the new opportunities that could arise as a post-pandemic world unfolds.

Here at Fast Future, we are starting to ask what the possibilities and opportunities are for a post-pandemic future – and we want to engage a global community of future thinkers in that dialogue. Hence, we want to develop a fast track, widely accessible, and affordable book to be published on June 1st, 2020 – providing individuals, leaders, and organizations with foresight, insight, challenge, visionary thinking, and navigational guidance on what might lie ahead. This is a fast track opportunity to put your latest thinking in front of a world hungry for ideas, hope, and inspiration.

We are inviting people from across the globe with a perspective on the issue to explore how the world might look after the COVID-19 pandemic. Aftershocks and Opportunities – Futurists Envision our Post-Pandemic Future (working book title) will portray diverse perspectives on economic, cultural, organisational, political, social, scientific, technological, commercial, and ecological evolution over the coming two to five years. Chapter submissions will be accepted until April 19th, 2020.

We want contributions from people who can write about some aspect of the emerging possibilities and opportunities in the form of scenarios, stories from the future, development timelines, or exploring how particular domains might play out. The book launch date is scheduled for June 1st, 2020.
