Not in slogans. Not in press releases. Not in Twitter threads or TED Talks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey warned us in books, essays, interviews, and thought experiments. They warned us with metaphors and manifestos, parables and polemics. And for the most part, we ignored them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is about those voices. They came from across centuries and continents: poets, scientists, philosophers, engineers, journalists, prophets. Some were household names. Others were dismissed, marginalized, or forgotten. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat united them wasn't ideology or discipline, but vision. Each of them looked beyond the surface of their time - and saw the future rushing toward us. And then they tried to stop it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Premise\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThey Tried to Warn Us began as a podcast (which you can access at: https: \/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/3IlsQV7KXuaseN1d3n7Hix).
