Difficult challenges lie ahead when attempting to change the world for the better. These challenges must be sources of inspiration, not sources of pessimism. A New Industrial Utopia is a body of work by Leigh Christie that portrays a world where new industries bring greater advances in culture, science, technology, biodiversity, and long term human resiliency. Leigh’s creations redefine progress in a world where unsustainable industries persist in their dominance.
