Social Visions of Future Sustainable Societies 425ever truly completed. There is no possibility of ‘One Ultimate Vision’. This is in

future offer a means to think through the consequences of current actions: there
are stimuli for creativity and the sensing of possibilities, and tools for broadening
the range and sharpening the terms of debate on possible global futures.
