Cornucopia is a contemplative fiction of anticipation that questions the reasons for our inertia in the face of the major issues of our time. Continuing his exploration of new forms of utopia, their genesis, and their possible impact on our future, Joris Mathieu presents a future society that finds a form of balance in restraint and degrowth, in conjunction with an omnipresent AI. It’s a thought-provoking exercise, designed to awaken our consciences and encourage us to think about the future.
