Protopia: The Future We Should Actually Aim For

Kevin Kelly argues that neither utopia nor dystopia is the right goal for humanity. Instead, he champions 'protopia'—a future that is only 1-2% better each year, compounded over time. Drawing on decades of technological progress, he explains how small, incremental improvements have built civilization, and why we must embrace both the benefits and new problems that come with innovation. Protopia is a direction, not a destination, and it's the only realistic path forward.
