"We need to start to imagine what would it look like if we actually built a civilization that was designed from the outset to set the conditions for all people to flourish on a regenerated, living earth.”

Jeremy Lent is a former tech entrepreneur, and the author of The Patterning Instinct, which George Monbiot called "perhaps the most profound and far-reaching" book he'd ever read. Following that, Jeremy wrote The Web of Meaning, and he’s currently at work on the third book in the series, Future Flourishing: Towards an Ecological Civilization. Together, the three books do no less than describe how human civilization has found itself in its current state, and work to identify how we might extricate ourselves from that state and rebuild in a way that allows for the widespread flourishing of both the human and the natural worlds.
