BOOKLET: https://eklektikaberlin.com/files/1377567/2099-booklet.pdf Forget the doom and gloom and welcome to the imagined world of our grandchildren and great grandchildren. 2099 is an album of 9 songs which deal with various aspects of life could be like, with a 10th song imagining Berlin 100 years after that. Mankind has risen and dealt with the many problems facing the planet. This is a positive vision of the future. It is fictional and speculative, as are the two journal articles below. I was unable to recreate the sounds of the future music, but have tried to create a song which is abstract and different enough to reflect some of the possible styles.
A few assumptions underpin this vision:
- We (mankind) chose the “Great Transition” path — a global shift in values toward equity, sustainability, and regenerative systems.
- Rapid decarbonization and carbon-removal succeeded just in time to avoid runaway climate breakdown. (While challenging, some models suggest aggressive renewables + sequestration paths are possible.)
- Technological, institutional, and cultural breakthroughs in governance, health, and social systems complement ecological repair.
- Resilience and adaption became central norms, not afterthoughts.
