Description

Picture the future 100 years from now. What do you imagine? Flying cars? Space colonies? AI talking toasters?

But if we can't sustain an endlessly growing economy - even with a transition to green energy - what does a realistic and positive future look like?

Alex joins the hosts of Crazy Town to imagine life in the 22nd century: walking from our family farms into communal villages, living off the land in a low-energy lifestyle, taming our pet donkeys, and resisting our local warlords.

It's not the future the movies told us to expect. But it might be a future we enjoy living in.
