Tomorrow will bring? We want to shed light on the revolutions and wars to come, we are told in advance when the states that hold our debt will be bankrupt. Failing to discover the secret of the future or to master the science, we multiply scenarios, predictions, forecasts that we delegate to cohorts of specialists, scholars and experts relayed by mediators of public space and providers of opinion. However, knowledge and power are organized around an oracular speech.
And if the think tank and the credit ratings agencies were the contemporary version of the Delphic oracles of antiquity? In this exciting book about stories of the future and their paradoxes, Ariel Colonomos into the heart of the knowledge factories and updates the social mechanisms that govern these new temples of political science, security technologies and factories of finance. It gives to understand why, in reality, it is the nervousness that overcomes why the future, linked to national interests, is made in a systematic search for stability. The interests of thinkers and makers converge in conservatism: those who are supposed to know reassure those who are supposed to act, and the industry of the future course of the world slows down.
