Have you heard of thrutopia? I hadn’t either until this week’s guest, Manda Scott, introduced me to the concept. Thrutopia bridges the gap between utopian dreams and dystopian fears, offering a realistic, hopeful vision for the future. It’s not about imagining perfect worlds or fearing the worst of humanity; it’s about charting a path from where we are now to a future we can be proud to pass on to the next generation and many more to come. It’s about ensuring you’re a good ancestor.
We are story driven beings, constantly imagining potential futures but for those futures to become real, we need to take action. Thrutopia is about solving today’s problems through achievable, inclusive solutions. A future where cities transition to green infrastructure, adopt local renewable energy systems and shift toward a circular economy where waste is minimised. Where governance becomes transparent, participatory and healthcare shifts toward prevention with universal access.
Education becomes personalised, accessible and lifelong while restorative justice and empathy-building reshape social systems. With ethical technology focused on the common good, the digital divide can be closed, while smart cities and decentralised communities could help manage urbanisation sustainably.
Thrutopia requires a purpose, a plan and a strong Focus on WHY! It is built on collaboration, equity and sustainability. Thrutopian solutions create a future with progress built from practical, actionable steps.
