Apocaloptimism. Try to imagine a desirable future in 2114 (100 years) that you would want to live in. Because we need some more hopeful narratives to counter all the dystopianism.

"Population 4 billion; 85% urban. Climate change adapted" Getting from here to there would be, ahem, interesting.

Quite a lot of Californians in there hoping for a future that's all "graphite and glitter" in some http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gernsback_Continuum

Of course the 100 year future will be messier than that and more like today than like Startrek. But what about the 1000 and 10,000 year futures? ;) Try and imagine an Earth economy in 10,000 years that can support 5B people. 100% recycling but no Helium. And of course the 10 year future in 2024 that you would want to live in.
