Good little book Dex, I was also thinking of "Failing Forward" or "Attitudes & Altitudes".
I'm not really happy with your two options for the future of mankind H.M. I'd prefer to hold the vision of a bright future, albeit with some challenges, but bright non the less. As Einstein & Emmerson both stated, "without a vision mankind is doomed". Choose your vision carefully, for what you give energy to will surely grow.
