“This is the book on the future we’d been waiting for?an impassioned argument for replacing lazy certainties and fearful fantasies with a rigorous, rationally optimistic, and ultimately empowering stance toward what might be coming next.”
?Oliver Burkeman, author of Meditations for Mortals and Four Thousand Weeks

“Where are we going? Who will we be when we get there? These are the big questions, and we need to know that we don’t know enough to answer them. Nick Foster’s book is a light bulb over your head that never goes off, a song about the future that strikes not just technological but conceptual notes. This book is innervisionary, a travel guide for our mind’s eye.”
?Questlove, author of Hip-Hop Is History

“Nick Foster started out tracing Garfield cartoons at his kitchen table. I started out tracing Garfield cartoons at my kitchen table! Nick Foster is a genius who helps companies like Dyson and Google envision the future. I’m still hoping for flying DeLoreans. That’s why I listen to Nick tell me how to imagine and create what’s next for ourselves. Remember, you don’t have to outrun somebody if you can outsmart them.”
?Bobby Hundreds, author of NFTs Are a Scam/NFTs Are the Future

“It’s a wondrous thing to read someone who can bring potential futures to life without being stuck in retreads of yet more takes on AI and robotics. Nick Foster’s Could Should Might Don’t blows a draft of fresh and thrilling air through a genre that has lately become stale, repetitive, and unproductive. It’s the kind of book you keep dropping down to your lap as you look up and wonder.”
?Stephen Fry

“A book about futures work written so thoughtfully, by someone who’s practiced it at such a high level and yet can ground it beautifully in stories of everyday life and the possible futures they hold. This is both Nick Foster’s method and his particular skill, and this warm, insightful, and ultimately generative book balances critique, care, love, and hope for this kind of work.”
?Dan Hill, author of Dark Matter

“I couldn’t put down this brilliant, eye-opening work?it’s just the kind we need at the moment. Foster has spent a lifetime exploring tomorrows, and his message is clear: serious thinking about the future is essential if we hope to shape it rather than be blindsided by it.”
?David Eagleman, author of Incognito

“I’m thrilled about Nick’s book. Rather than more forecasts and projections, Nick brings us the importance of thinking about the future today, in the most accessible and engaging way possible.”
?Anab Jain, designer, filmmaker, and futurist
