Preface -- 1. Waves of change -- 2. The Korean wave -- 3. A hidden wave? -- 4. Changing comunication modes change societies -- 5. The post-industrial interregnum -- 6. Visual images vs. the printed word -- 7. Eroding literal truth -- 8. Dreaming in the Anthropocene -- 9. Designing governance -- 10. The predicament of governance design -- 11. Precursor political dreamweavers -- 12. Donald Trump as a dream society paragon -- 13. Towards quantum governance of a dream society -- 14. Beyond words and images.

This book shows how multiple developments have caused the world to move from "an information society" to a "dream society". Ongoing social and technological forces are pushing us from a world of words, rationality, and truth into a world of images, performance, and make-belief. Rather than deny or reject this transformation, this book argues that one should understand and embrace it as waves of new futures that the world must strive to surf for fame and fun. As a political scientist and futurist, the author also offers hints of new goals and forms of governance fit for a dream society, as he demonstrates that all current systems are ineffective and dangerously obsolete. This book is of great interest to political philosophers, futures scientists, sociologists, and those interested in cultural studies.
