What comes after money, endless growth, and ecological overshoot?
Humanity stands at a crossroads.
Climate change, biodiversity loss, resource depletion and growing inequality challenge the foundations of modern civilization. Yet while many agree that change is necessary, few can describe what a truly sustainable society might look like.
In The Future Civilization, Enrique Lescure presents a bold and comprehensive vision of an alternative future. Drawing upon ecology, systems science, thermodynamics and technological innovation, he explores how humanity could build a civilization capable of thriving within the limits of the biosphere while ensuring dignity and security for all.
This is not a call for a return to the past.
It is a vision of advanced cities, automation, distributed power, scientific planning and ecological balance working together to create a world beyond poverty, waste and artificial scarcity.
At the heart of the book lies a simple question:
If we were designing civilization from the ground up today, knowing what we know about science, ecology and human needs, what would we build?
Whether you see it as a blueprint, a thought experiment, or a challenge to conventional assumptions, The Future Civilization invites you to imagine what comes next.
ENRIQUE LESCURE is a Swedish sustainability advocate, author and founder of the Earth Organisation for Sustainability (EOS). His work focuses on ecological systems, post-monetary economics and the long-term future of human civilization.
