World in 2100
What will the world look like by the end of the 21st century?
The future is a place in time where dreams and hopes reside, where all the infinite potentialities, possibilities, and probabilities coexist altogether just waiting to be uncovered by the present time.
In 1950, the world was home to 2.5 billion people —mostly rural. It was a world still recovering from the aftermath of World War II and entering into modernity. Television was in black and white. Flying was only for a few that could afford it, with just 31 million people traveling the skies. The silicon transistor was yet to be invented, and there were fewer than a dozen computers running in the world. Today, seventy-five years later, the world has 8 billion people —mostly urban. Flying is commonplace with airlines carrying over 5 billion passengers annually. Intelligent computers are in billions everywhere —inside smartphones, aircrafts, cars and dishwashers— connecting almost two-thirds of the global population. So what will the world look like within the next seventy-five years in 2100?
What will life be in the posthuman and transhuman future?

What will cities look like with 3°C degrees Celsius of warming?
