Blackbot’s Trends Report 2023

Blackbot's Trends Report 2023 is a reflection on the current state of the world and the possibilities that it brings. The report uses the prefix "ULTRA" to suggest that what we have experienced globally in the last three years will only expand, multiply, and become more complex. The report notes that we are living on the brink of nuclear war, less than one degree away from mass extinction of species, and bordering on the most serious economic crisis in history. However, the report also highlights that humanity continues to create and destroy, suggesting that we are capable of both great good and great harm. The report aims to give a glimpse of what is happening and what could happen if we take action or do nothing. It is not meant to change the world, but to encourage reflection and decision-making.
