Of course, you can fantasize about the appearance of the person of the future. Remove rudiments and atavisms, add an enlargement of the skull as a sign of brain development … But this is not the main thing. What is more important for us is the answer to the question of what it will be. Wise? Noble? Fair? Or will he become an invader, conquering both his own planet and other worlds for the prosperity of his species? How do futurists, scientists and science fiction writers see the person of the future?
Instructions
Step 1
Ray Bradbury, "Tigers May Live Here." In the story, there is a conflict between two attitudes towards other worlds: consumer and caring. Another planet is not only another world and a different way of thinking. She, as a woman, does not forgive boorish and consumer attitudes. And the man of the future must understand and accept this.
Step 2
Sever Gansovsky, "Save December". In the story of a talented Russian science fiction writer, earthlings are ready to sacrifice their lives for the sake of preserving life on an alien planet. A story full of tension, humanity and dedication. The heroes of the story are real people of the future.
Step 3
Isaac Asimov, story "All the sins of the world." Supercomputer "Multivac" does not withstand the burden of moral and ethical problems of mankind, which have been entrusted to it. Questions of ethics and morality, topical in all ages, can only be wisely resolved by a man of the future.
Step 4
Stanislav Lem, Solaris. The entire planet is a single superbrain, which by its own means is fighting for survival against the invasion of aliens, which for it are uninvited guests from planet Earth. With your charter, do not poke your nose into someone else's monastery, the great science fiction writer recalls. The man of the future will have to strain in order to establish contact with intelligent life in the information field of the Universe.
Step 5
Stephen Barr, Callahan and the Turtles. Self-organizing and self-developing artificial intelligence can be both an enemy and a friend. It all depends on the attitude of people towards him. The man of the future will certainly have to find a way to make friends with machines.
Step 6
James Cameron, Avatar. The film is the record-holder for the box office in the entire history of cinema. People voted with their wallets for the idea of humanism, goodness and the high mission of mankind in preserving and increasing every unique manifestation of life in the Universe.
Step 7
And, finally, the main thinker of mankind, who created an impeccably harmonious, all-embracing moral and ethical model, a unified theory of action, attitude and worldview. Who outlined and formulated the great mission of man in nature and in the world: the mission of a man-creator, not a destroyer; a mission of goodness and justice; a mission of helping and rescuing all who need help and rescue. A true man of the future in the highest sense of the word. The greatest thinker, teacher, philosopher, sage, son of man is Jesus Christ.
