Editorial policy
#future #europe #translation
Anticipolis is a publishing house that publishes writings contributing to shedding light on the future from an assumed European perspective: European views on the world, but also non-European views on Europe. We publish all our books in several European languages.
#city of anticipation
In 2026, drawing on 20 years of publishing anticipation bulletins and methods, Anticipolis opened its doors to authors of essays and fiction, with the ambition of becoming a “City of Anticipation”, home to a collective of authors committed to shedding light on our future together.
Through their writings, these authors take part in shaping an articulated vision of the future of Europe, the nation-state, the multipolar world, the architecture of peace, democracy, the different models of governance, the international monetary system, economic fundamentals, education, technologies, progress, … and more generally of humankind in society and in nature.
#real-futur #collective intelligence of the future
Following Anticipolis’s “real-futur” principles, these authors root their writings in the knowledge and experience accumulated throughout their personal and professional lives, projected onto the screen of the future. They tell us about the future they discern from their own angle. Anticipolis thus sees itself as a crossroads of these angles, helping the collective to gain the height needed to “see” what is coming and take its destiny back into its own hands.
The intellectual and literary corpus built up in this way is updated, discussed and enriched, in a spirit of mutual listening between authors that we consider essential to refining the visions we share.
#AI #new minds
The generative AI revolution allows the well-made minds of hundreds of thousands of people who had ideas, but not enough inclination or time to put them into words, to finally share their ideas. Anticipolis Publishing also wants to reach this new intelligence. The AI-to-human ratio of their writings is not our concern, as long as the texts are readable and alive, letting the human adventure through time shine through, present original and relevant ideas, and set the reader’s intelligence in motion. The form can be rational (essays) or artistic (fiction or innovative formats); it must make “captivating” the intuitions and ideas that the authors consider worth sharing.
Because, in a crisis on the scale of the one we are going through, these new minds will be much needed to better understand the future and the great challenges it poses to us, and to explore the paths for reinventing the next system.
#lucidity #reconciliation
Anticipolis thus aims to be one of the places where the Europe of tomorrow is reinvented: a Europe that is more lucid, but also reconciled with the future, the world, its peoples and its history, a Europe that is a net contributor to the proper functioning of human society.
