Future Work
Although the foundations of the science are bona fide, there are still many remaining open questions.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or work:
“We live in an age when to be young and to be indifferent can be no longer synonymous. We must prepare for the coming hour. The claims of the Future are represented by suffering millions; and the Youth of a Nation are the trustees of Posterity.”
—Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)
“Lost is our freedom
When we submit to women so:
Why do we need ‘em
When, in their best, they work our woe?”
—Thomas Campion (1567–1620)
