Imagine if the world was rebooted to its factory settings. Not a hard reboot, where everything was erased, but one that would reset our way of living, allowing us to return to the previous setting and ignore the changes made in recent years.

What would you do to reset based on what you've learned from the history of time and do differently if you had no constraints?

We currently stand in the midst of a global pandemic. Whilst it has had a devastating effect on the world, it has also shown us that many behaviors and practices we once thought unchangeable could be improved, and that many outcomes thought impossible were achievable.

Reduced travel has improved air quality. Fewer vacations have transformed water quality in popular holiday resorts. Cities freed of congested traffic can once again be enjoyed by walkers and cyclists without their worrying about inhaling dangerous fumes. Whilst no one would choose a global pandemic to understand what is possible, it has provided us with a temporary cleanse of the modern world and an opportunity to reassess the anachronisms that we endured, showing these as unfit for modern life.

Roy Sharples and Gary Burt provide perspective on a people-first manifesto for rebooting the world by discussing how Education, Public Policy, Culture, Economics, Politics, and Society, can be reshaped for the benefit of Humanity.
