A Conversation with Rob Hopkins: How to Fall in Love with the Future

“There are an infinite number of possible futures that lie ahead of us—like threads stretching out into the distance. Rob Hopkins, cofounder of the international Transition Network movement, invites us to travel to future worlds we would actually want to live in.”
Rob Hopkins is the co-founder of Transition Network and of Transition Town Totnes, and author of several books including ‘The Transition Handbook‘ and most recently, ‘From What Is to What If: unleashing the power of imagination to create the future we want’. He is an Ashoka Fellow, has spoken at TED Global and at several TEDx events, and appears in the French film phenomenon ‘Demain’. He holds a PhD from the University of Plymouth as well as 2 Honoris Causas, and hosted 100 episodes of his podcast ‘From What If to What Next’. In November 2022 he was made an Honorary Citizen of Liège in Belgium. His collaborative music project with artist Mr Kit, ‘Field Recordings from the Future‘ will be released in May 2025, the same time as his new book ‘How to Fall in Love with the Future’. In his spare time, he draws and makes drypoint etchings. His website is robhopkins.net.
Join Rob at the Cheese and Grain on Thursday 23rd October for a talk, Q&A and to hear more about his new book 'How to Fall in Love with the Future: A Time Traveller's Guide to Changing the World.'
