In 2059: The Future of Education, Dr. Micah Shippee explores how emerging technologies and social shifts will reshape learning over the coming decades. From AI-powered personalized learning to brain-computer interfaces, global virtual classrooms to space-based education, Shippee paints a compelling vision of what’s ahead.
Drawing on his deep experience in teaching and edtech leadership, Shippee outlines four possible futures, including the connected classrooms of 2029 and the post-scarcity learning of 2059.
At its heart, this is a book about learner agency: the ability to adapt, create, and thrive in a world of rapid change. Success, Shippee argues, will depend not just on knowledge, but on collaboration, creativity, and resilience.
Whether you're an educator, administrator, or policymaker, 2059 provides the foresight and tools needed to shape the future of learning—starting today.
