Preface: How to Plan the Future in Times of Exponential Acceleration. Three Scenarios

Abstract

Psychological Future Management seems difficult, as we know neither what is to come nor how we will react. But since we live in times of exponential change, in which innovations arise constantly and at lightning speed, it is quite simply necessary for us to come up with some ideas. Playing catch-up is not an option. And yet the unfavorable situation of being condemned to merely react is a global fact. Not only is the political sphere stumbling to keep up with the alarming events of presidential narcissism and dictatorial caprice, the economy and financial markets are also being driven by digitization, all over the world. Even lawyers will soon be replaceable by algorithms.
