Imagine waking up tomorrow in a world where your value isn't determined by your productivity. Where technology serves humanity rather than shareholders. Where automation is celebrated, not feared. This isn't utopian fantasy but the provocative vision at the heart of "Inventing the Future." The book challenges a fundamental paradox: despite unprecedented technological advancement, we're working longer hours than our grandparents. Why? Because we've surrendered the future to neoliberal forces while the left has retreated into what the authors call "folk politics" - small-scale, local, and immediate actions that fail to address systemic problems. This crisis of imagination has left us trapped in a present where alternatives to capitalism seem impossible. But what if we could reclaim the future?
