By the end she conceded most of it.Five futures, all inside ten years. Biotech that crosses the \"one year and one day\" line where life expectancy improves faster than you age. Energy that goes near-free as fusion catches up and AI rewrites the grid. Knowledge becoming a commodity once an expert lives in everyone's pocket. The smartphone retiring in favor of smart glasses with AR overlays and continuous context. And the answer to the loneliness epidemic that nobody is comfortable talking about until they have an aging parent who is alone.Andrew closes on why optimism is not naive.
