FM2030 aka Fereidoun M. Esfandiary or FM Esfandairy http://fm2030.us/, wikipedia is a prominent futurist and thinker. I highly recommend his writing.
This is one of his most famous quotes.
“I am a 21st century person who was accidentally launched in the 20th. I have a deep nostalgia for the future.” [reference]
This quote definitely resonants with me, though I might update/change it to “I am a 24st century person who was accidentally launched in the 21th. I have a deep nostalgia for the future.” I’d love to skip right to post scarcity and populating the galaxy.
