Thankfully people like Jess Scully have been researching the better world that could emerge as it does. 'Our globalised Industrial system, built for an era of ecological stability, is showing multiple signs of unravelling. Harnessing technology and imagination, we can reshape our world to be fair and sustainable. Humans everywhere are rising up to confront our challenges with creativity, resilience and compassion. Glimpses of Utopia is a call for optimism. ' Glimpse of Us ' is a song by Japanese singer Joji, released as the lead single from his third studio album Smithereens on 10 June 2022 through 88rising and Warner Records. There are radical bankers funding renewable energy in the USA and architects redesigning real estate in Australia, new payment systems in Italy and the Philippines that keep money in local communities, and innovators redesigning taxation to cut pollution and incentivise creative solutions. Meet the care workers reclaiming control in India and Lebanon, the people turning slums into safe havens in Kenya and Bangladesh, and champions of people-powered digital democracy in Iceland and Taiwan. Jess Scully asks, What can we do? The answer is: plenty! All over the world, people are refusing the business-as-usual mindset and putting humans back into the civic equation, reimagining work and care, finance and government, urban planning and communication, to make them better and fairer for all.
