The world is developing in ever-shorter cycles. Whereas information, goods, and services used to be exchanged face-to-face, shopping now requires only a couple of minutes and a few mouse clicks. We are confronted with technological progress almost on a daily basis. Will the over-stimulation of our senses continue? Can our "archaic" biological construction keep up with this rapid development? In what direction will biological and economic forces drive us in the future? A biologist and an economist invite you on a tour covering 200,000 years of evolution and 2,000 years of economic development, from primates to mass consumers.
