An Optimist’s Tour Of The Future

Mark Stevenson has been to the future a few years ahead of the rest of us and thinks it could have a lot going for it. Based on his first book, he will take us on An Optimist’s Tour of the Future.

Mark combines two careers – one as a successful writer/comedian (writing for stage, radio and print) and another as an expert in future narratives, institutional innovation, engineered serendipity and learning – working with everyone from schoolchildren to the boards of multinational corporations. He is co-founder of Lea(r)n into the Curve, a fellow of the RSA, Nibmaster General at the Ministry of Stories, special advisor to the Virgin Earth Challenge and founder of the League of Pragmatic Optimists.
