THE HOPE ISSUE
Our response to the global pandemic has highlighted one positive thing: humans' ability to rally to solve even the most intractable of problems. At the year-end, WIRED profiles the people promising a brighter tomorrow, including Huda Al-Hashimi, UAE deputy minister of Cabinet affairs, Khalfan Belhoul, the CEO of the Dubai Future Foundation, and Mia Atoui, head of a mental health organization Embrace Lebanon. The top line: we’ll be OK in 2022. Elsewhere in the issue, WIRED puts a spotlight on the Israeli med-tech startups leading a new revolution in psychedelic drugs, examines how Meta’s metaverse is likely to extend Facebook’s woeful record in stamping out hate speech and delves into how UFO “sightings” have impacted Middle East culture.
