If you are looking for a single volume that gives you the essential features of what is wrong with the world, together with the essential measures that could put it right, look no further. Pavel Luksha provides an amazingly comprehensive diagnosis coupled with a just as amazingly embracing therapy — a book to read and re-read to help you awaken — and act!

“The Next 100 Years" offers a very rich global overview of future possibilities that can be improved by a positive long-range view of the future of civilization. Although a very positive exposition, he does not shrink from addressing the very profound threats to our existence. Pavel Luksha stresses that, "The real challenge is to create conditions for collaboration and cocreation within human societies and with the biosphere and other planetary systems." Indeed, the transition from our current zero-sum geopolitical power games to more synergetic relations among nations, peoples, ideas, and systems may well be our greatest social challenge to get us to the next 100 years and beyond.

At this critical point in human history, when the choices that we have so far made as a species now threatening our own survival, “The Next 100 Years" not only provides a wake-up call about the degree to which we are facing the likelihood of civilizational collapse and possible species extinction, but also offers clearly thought-through pathways laying out we might avoid this. This is not a comfortable book to read, but it clarifies what ancient and indigenous peoples have been telling us for thousands of years i.e that we are not separate from nature, but instead live in a world of dynamic relationship, and enormous creative potential. Is our purpose as a species to steadily degrade and destroy the very world that sustains us? Or could we work together to dream in something new – something that transcends what has gone before and that celebrates the extraordinarily unique gift that has been given to us as conscious choice-makers within an interrelated network of other living species. My own feeling is that millions of us have the opportunity to now come together to change our story from the one that is predictable to one that fully acknowledges and celebrates our Interbeing. And this book provides a wonderful resource to help us on our way.

“100 Year Vision" elegantly maps out the enabling and steering dynamic that human and planetary evolution must traverse in the next hundred years – through the Economy, Governance, Culture and Consciousness. These are the Integral City's four quadrants that call forth the active participation of the 4 Archetypal City Voices of Civic Managers, Business/Innovators, Civil Society/3rd Sector and Citizens. Pavel Luksha maps out 22 steps for these voices to enact to thrive in the 22nd century. His book is not just a vision – but a manifesto for the evolution of humana qui curat – the Caring Human who lives by Gaia's Code of Care for Planet, Place, People, Person.
