In The Future, former US Vice President Al Gore, explores the political, social and economic forces that are shaping what America and the world will become in ensuing decades. From demographics to democracy, Gore explores what he calls the 'Drivers of Global Change', framing the international conversation about the future in fresh and provocative ways. With this new work, Gore hopes to help start a conversation about the large-scale drivers of change that are defining and shaping our future - from the rapid development and integration of radically new technologies to the planet-changing impact of the climate crisis, to poverty, globalization, and the democratisation of knowledge accompanying the emergence of a ubiquitous internet linking ever more intelligent devices.

Książka jest kontynuacją dwóch poprzednich (Niewygodna prawda – Sonia Draga 2007 i Masz Wybór – Sonia Draga 2010), w których Al Gore prezentował fakty na temat zmian klimatycznych i uzmysławiał czytelnikowi, że tylko podejmując zdecydowane działania zdołamy zapobiec katastrofie klimatycznej. Narracja osnuta jest wokół 3 pytań: Czy musimy się zmienić? Czy potrafimy się zmienić? Czy się zmienimy? Tekst dzieli się na dwie części. W pierwszej autor przedstawia dane związane z badaniami klimatycznymi, bogato ilustrowane zdjęciami i wykresami. Informacje podawane są przystępnym językiem. Ta część ilustrowana jest również wypowiedziami mieszkańców różnych części świata borykających się ze skutkami kryzysu klimatycznego, którzy dzięki swojemu zaangażowaniu zdołali odnieść zwycięstwo. Druga część jest praktycznym poradnikiem dla tych, którzy chcieliby mieć swój wkład w walkę ze zmianami klimatycznymi. Instruuje między innymi, jak mówić o konieczności zmian i podpowiada, jak przekonać do nich sceptyków.

Al Gore, der ehemalige Vizepräsident der USA, Friedensnobelpreisträger und Bestsellerautor, wagt in seinem neuen Buch einen Blick in die Zukunft. Er identifiziert diejenigen Kräfte, die unser Leben in den kommenden Jahrzehnten am stärksten verändern werden, und zeichnet so ein beeindruckend detailliertes Bild der Welt von morgen. Denn, so Gore, nur wem es gelingt, die Chancen und Risiken der Zukunft zu erkennen, kann sie auch gestalten. Wir leben in einer Zeit umwälzender Veränderungen. Aus der Vielzahl der Kräfte, die unsere Welt formen, greift Al Gore diejenigen heraus, die unsere Zukunft am radikalsten prägen werden: Neben der weiter zunehmenden Globalisierung der Wirtschaft sind das die Verschiebung der geopolitischen Machtverhältnisse, eine fehlgeleitete, allein auf Wachstum ausgerichtete Wirtschaftspolitik, der nicht nachhaltige Umgang mit unserer Umwelt und unseren Ressourcen sowie die Revolutionen in der digitalen Kommunikation, in der Biotechnik, den Neurowissenschaften und der Gentechnik. Inwiefern wir diese Entwicklungen gewinnbringend nutzen können und ab wann sie für uns zum Risiko werden, das debattiert Gore in seinem neuen, umfassenden Bestseller über unsere Zukunft.

Kniha amerického viceprezidenta a kandidáta na úřad prezidenta s tematikou životního prostředí. Globální oteplování, bezhlavé chrlení odpadů, šíření pouští, destrukce ozonosféry, ztráta samočisticích schopností atmosféry, mizení lesa, ohrožení hydrosféry, to vše jsou nepříjemné věci, které se na lidstvo v současné době valí v souvislosti s globální ekologickou krizí. Gore se však nespokojuje pouze s tím, že by vyčísloval nejdůležitější hrozby, které pro nás ekologická krize představuje, ale naznačuje i cesty k dosažení východiska. Klade především důraz na každého z nás, jak se dokážeme se změnami vyrovnat nebo ztotožnit. Al Gore líčí své názory na politiku a ekonomiku, věnuje prostor vlastnostem člověka a lidské společnosti a z pozice věřícího člověka analyzuje vliv a možnosti náboženství.
