I did not write this book because I know what the future will be.I wrote it because I was afraid of what we might stop asking.In a world moving faster every day, certainty is tempting.Technology offers answers quickly.Systems promise efficiency.Prediction promises safety.But somewhere along the way, I felt we were losing something quieter -our willingness to pause and reflect on who we are becoming.This book was written at a time when humanity stood at a threshold.Artificial intelligence had surpassed skill.Comfort had surpassed survival.Choice had begun to surrender itself to convenience. And yet, beneath all this progress, a simple human question remained unresolved: What kind of future is worth living in?I did not want to write a book filled with predictions.Predictions expire.I wanted to write a book filled with thinking -the kind that stays relevant even when technology changes. Everything in this book is based on real trajectories: scientific research, social trends, ethical dilemmas, and human behavior.But the heart of this book is not data.It is responsibility.If the future becomes less human, it will not be because machines took over -it will be because humans stopped choosing.This book is my attempt to keep that choice visible.Not loud.Not dramatic.Just honest.If this book makes you uncomfortable at times, that is intentional.Growth rarely happens in comfort.And if it makes you hopeful, that is because hope was never the problem.Awareness was.- Tajirul Sk
