Scenarios for the Future of Technology and International Development

Reports & White Papers - The Rockefeller Foundation and Global Business Network

Published in May 2010 by The Rockefeller Foundation and Global Business Network, this paper imagines four scenarios and how technology could be applied to each. The first scenario “Lock Step” is very similar to the current Covid 19 crisis. Combined with exercises such as Crimson Contagion, Clade X, and Event201, it raises questions about the origins and pre-planning regarding SARS-CoV-2.

LOCK STEP: “A world of tighter top-down government control and more authoritarian leadership, with limited innovation and growing citizen pushback.”
