Many call themselves “futurists” — Bryan actually knows how to do it.
Bryan Alexander is perhaps higher education’s most prominent intellectual provocateur.
–The Chronicle of Higher Education
One of the most creative and perceptive people in higher education today!
Is @BryanAlexander a wizard because he wrote about the possibility of a pandemic in 2018? He says he has a beard like one.
“Hardest working man in edtech!”
Gotta love @BryanAlexander‘s ability to catalyze a conversation without leaning on hyperbole or triggers.
This is so well-structured and thoughtful that it almost made me forget I was terrified while reading it.
When @BryanAlexander is futuring about you, you’d better start futuring yer own dang self!
Your prescience is wild.
[F]uturist and higher-ed guru Bryan Alexander…

Coronavirus and the world: today and four forecasts
It’s March 18th, COVID-19 keeps spreading, and the world’s reactions are deepening. Global infected numbers passed 180,000 and deaths near 9,000, reportedly (and there are doubts about numbers). There are more infections and deaths outside of China than in, according … Continue reading
Coronavirus and the world: how futurists have been working on this kind of thing for years

4 futures for how civilization could respond politically to climate change

What Americans think of the present and future of science and technology
Where will science go in the future, and how will that impact our lives? I’ve been tracking this question for a while, so it’s good to have fresh research to hand. A new Pew Research survey asked Americans what they … Continue reading

When new ideas boom, bust, then come roaring back: around the U-bend
Lately I’m thinking about the re-emergence of ideas over time. I’d like to get a better handle on that process, hopefully with a model, and so try to better anticipate when such a thing may occur. Let me explain. Most … Continue reading
Clouds and networks: reflections on James Bridle’s New Dark Age
I started reading James Bridle’s New Dark Age thinking it was another entry in the recent spate of “techlash” books. The subtitle, Technology and the End of the Future, is a hint. And the book does follow the tradition laid … Continue reading
