Wired Middle East - Winter 2020

I dette nummeret

Was 2020 a mere blip—or a horrible taster of the decades to come? In its latest issue, WIRED Middle East takes you on a tour of tomorrow—from two radically different perspectives. It explores what 2050 might hold for us—and whether we’re headed down a path to utopia or dystopia. From the prospect of environmental catastrophe (or a new world of clean energy), to the opportunity for social media to create unity, rather than division, The Future Issue paints two pictures of where our world is heading. Elsewhere in the magazine, WIRED interviews Noura Al-Kaabi, the UAE minister of culture and youth, who is confident about life after the After Times; it also explores how the growing accuracy in predicting when we will die could bring about an unjust future straight out of dystopian fiction. And in “Khallas for Arabic,” the magazine explores how technology poses a dire threat to the language (but may also end up saving it.)
