What We’re Reading (& Recommending) This Quarter

Written By WKF

The pace of AI can make it feel like the only futures worth watching are the ones arriving next quarter. This is nonsense.

Here are three resources to remind us that some of the most consequential futures are being shaped right now by people making deliberate choices that pay off in years, not months. And that while technology is often a tool within these stories, it's not the story itself.

  • Short: Knepp Estate Has Become a Haven for Wildlife (CNN) - A couple in England chose to stop farming their failing estate and let it go wild. Twenty years of deliberate choices later, it's one of Britain's most important biodiversity hotspots.

  • Medium: Tim Ferriss with Dr. Kevin Tracey - A neurosurgeon and his team spent years proving they could treat inflammatory disease without drugs, with the FDA approving the device this year.

  • Longer: Hope in the Water (PBS) - Communities are reshaping the future of food through kelp farms, restored fishponds, and rethinking what (and how) we harvest from the ocean.
