"Quo vadimus? : Some glimpses of the future" by E. E. Fournier d'Albe is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book explores various possible trajectories for humanity's future, delving into the impacts of science, society, and the environment on human progress. It poses profound questions about our fate and adaptability as a species. In this thought-provoking work, Fournier d'Albe examines the survival prospects of humanity over millions of years, emphasizing that while environmental changes may threaten other species, humans possess a unique ability to adapt. He discusses various influences on human existence such as psychological factors, the necessity of food and procreation, and the significance of continued intellectual and social advancement. The author forecasts significant developments in technology, society, and global unity, leading to a future where humanity thrives under one government, eliminates disease, and experiences longer lifespans. However, he also warns against potential internal threats to our existence, suggesting that humanity’s downfall may arise from its own will rather than external forces. Ultimately, the book calls for a vision of collective human progress and collaboration, urging readers to ponder the direction in which we are headed and the implications of our choices.
