"A wonderful, evidence-based antidote to climate despair. Fusing sharp technological insights with inspiring poetry, Visser transforms blind optimism into an actionable, pragmatic roadmap for a thriving, nature-positive future. An inspiring read for anyone seeking actionable hope." Polly Courtice, Founding Director of the Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership"Wayne Visser, one of the world's foremost “pracademics”, offers a compelling and evidence-based case that a better future is possible. Technologies of Hope reveals how breakthrough technologies can drive the transformational change needed for business, society and the planet to flourish. At a time when so many are discouraged, this is a powerful antidote to cynicism and despair and a rallying cry for a new conception of a world worth creating." Ira A. Jackson, Former Director of the Center for Business and Government, Harvard Kennedy School, and co-author (with Jane Nelson) of Profits with Principles: Seven Strategies for Delivering Value with Value"Technologies of Hope will change the debate on how to address our most pressing problems. From the environmental movements wish list of what we ‘should do’ to a clear-eyed analysis of how change actually happens; as better, cheaper technologies outcompete inefficient ones, delivering both affordability and climate salvation." James Arbib, co-author of Stellar: A World Beyond Limits and How To Get There, and co-founder of RethinkX"A book of hope by action — a must-read for people who want to build a better future. Wayne shares the knowledge of exponential tools and the powerful systems-changing solutions we have today to act now." Ludvig Liljekvist, Head of Xplore Studios at Ingka Group, IKEA Retailer "From well-established areas such as solar power and energy storage to nascent sectors spanning cellular meat production to green steel, Visser takes us on a tour of business and technological innovation. I appreciated his broad historical perspective (so many interesting and compelling stories) combined with researched insights on where things might be headed. Particularly helpful is his overview of key players, including both established players and emerging disrupters." Ron Pernick, Managing Director of Clean Edge, Inc. and co-author of The Clean Tech Revolution"The world desperately needs new, positive narratives about the future. The alternative is despair and dystopia. But they cannot be wishful fantasies. To be credible - and to shape our actions individually and collectively - these stories must be grounded in reality. They must show that a better world is possible because it is already emerging. This is the story - or collection of stories - that Technologies of Hope tells. I recommend it to anyone who is not ready to give up on a world in which our children and grandchildren can thrive." Zoe Arden, author of Story-Centred Leadership and Fellow at University of Cambridge Institute for Sustainability Leadership"Technologies of Hope delivers an excellent research-based and non-biased exploration of various technologies including AI, tracing their origins, current impact, and future directions. It gives a very comprehensive perspective on both the bright and negative sides of technology, bringing us a step closer to understanding how these innovations have shaped and will fundamentally change our societies." Nina Benoit, Director of Sustainability at Brightest and host of the AI and Sustainability podcast"Technologies of Hope is the primer nature tech advocates need. Wayne Visser offers a sweeping, evidence-rich survey of the innovations driving our planet's recovery, turning complexity into clarity and data into genuine hope." Gilad Goren, Executive Director at Nature Tech Collective"Technologies of Hope tells a compelling story of how disruption and innovation can change the course of humanity. This book shows us that solutions to the climate crisis are both possible and practical, and gives good reason for optimism." Flavia Howard, Co-Founder of The Climate Network."In a world often overwhelmed by crisis, Wayne Visser offers something far more valuable than optimism: evidence-based hope. This compelling book shows how innovation can become a powerful force for restoring our planet and shaping a more sustainable future." João Pinto, Dean at Católica Porto Business School"We all start life with creativity as a core value. Innovation and transformation flow from creativity. Wayne's book takes you on voyages from creativity to real innovation." Jae Mather, CEO at Carbon Free Group"Deeply researched and highly readable, Technologies of Hope draws insightful lessons from both past and recent history to make a compelling case that innovation in technology – and even more so in mindset – is shaping a cleaner and more equitable future for our planet." Clint Wilder, Co-author of The Clean Tech Revolution and Clean Tech Nation"A tonic for everyone working on business solutions to our environmental crises, and an education in how markets are scaling the keystone technologies of the future." Leo Murray, CEO at Riding Sunbeams and Director of Innovation at Possible
