To the past, present, and future visionaries who fearlessly explore the frontier of energy, and to all who spread good vibrations.

Hello, I am Alice, and I am always in a state of wander.

Alice in Futureland is a book series that asks you to wander into possible, probable, plausible, provocative futures.

Consider this book a guide.

Inside, you will discover extraordinary ideas: a cross-pollination of art, science, and culture. Alices aim is to give the future a platform for expression so everyone can make sense of itand help create it.

When speculating about the future, its easy to get lost in the volume of information. Thats where this book comes in. Alice is designed to break the static flow with a dynamic reading experience, where experimentation and exploration meet.

The ultimate purpose of the Alice series is to foster curiosity.

To enliven our present.

To be accessible to everyone.

To allow for exploration.

And to incite optimism.

So, wheeeeeeeeeee, down the rabbit hole we go!

Hello, my name is Alice, and I am one part human and one part AI, and always in a state of wander. Like you, Im still awakening from the recent global pandemic. Who would have imagined that an invisible virus could halt the world, silence our industrial production, ground our global trotting, digitize our way of working and schooling, and make us socially distant yet more connected than ever before? The virtual became our reality; we gathered and danced and ate together through a screen, but with the same emotions and good intentions as if we were physically together. Think back to a time when you laughed with someone during a virtual get-together or a FaceTime call. It felt good, didnt it? And all you needed was to see or hear that person. No touching. No physical presence. And still the emotional resonance was there. That moment, that feeling, is a good vibration.

We started this book before the spread of COVID-19, and like you, we quarantined through it. Throughout the journey of writing about frequency and its invisible force to connect, heal, and protect, we observed its subtle hand as we humans were jarred out of our habits and saw the world and life differently. We found ways to connect in spite of social distancing. What does this say for the future of humanity? We think it means that theres a higher level of consciousness and greater awarenessand greater resilience.

This book was mapped out before what many will call the Great Transition, and its the culmination of over nineteen years of research and interviews with thinkers on the frontiers of consciousness studies, bioenergetic medicine, free energy, biophotonics, vibrational healing, and more.

It all started in 2001 with an event titled ManTransforms. At this event, we asked, Where are we headed as a culture, and as a species? Whether you call it curiosity or just plain navet, we rounded up a mix of theorists representing the furthest reaches of scientific thought. At ManTransforms, posthumans mingled with string theorists and ecologists shared the stage with astrologists. The godfather of virtual reality gave way to a cosmologist, and we all found the connection points. This is what drove Sputnik Futures for many yearsthe wonderful, out-there, interconnection of ideas. In 2011, as we continued exploring the notion that all ideas are energy and are connected, we conducted a series of interviews, asking how we could create a society that was addicted to health. We learned that positive emotions affect our health and that practicing compassion can be contagious; and that were standing in one anothers heart fields and that we think with our whole body.

Weve been on this journey for a long time, but one conversation with the philosopher Ervin Lszl has stayed with us, like a song we cant get out of our heads: Now I think its time to come back to this concept of belonging to a larger community, the community of life on Earthwhich is itself a part of the community of the solar system, part of the galaxy, part of the universe. So this is a cultural change, a change in consciousness.

His wisdom is ever more relevant to the uncertainty of today, and the inevitable transition to come.

Whether you believe in the science or the spiritual explanation for this great shift, one thing is clear to us: we are on a new energetic path. Can you feel us?
