Deleting Dystopia confirms that the existential threats posed by the misuse of advanced digital technologies are real.

About
Richard A. Slaughter
Richard Slaughter is a scholar and writer in the field of futures studies, applied foresight and social innovation. He is the co-director of Foresight International, and has guest edited the journals Futures and foresight.
His work has centred on developing the theory and practice of futures in education; the transition from empirical to critical futures work; bringing Integral theory into futures, and working with others to stimulate effective responses to what he regards as a “global emergency” created, in part, by the confluence of peak oil and global warming.
