Civilisations always think they're immortal, David Eagleman notes, but they nearly always perish, leaving "nothing but ruins and scattered genetics."
It takes luck and new technology to survive. We may be particularly lucky to have Internet technology to help manage the six requirements of a durable civilization.

Chair: Martin Wright, Editor-at-Large, Green Futures.
