READ AN EXTRACT | BUY THE EBOOK

Multi-award-winning scientific futurist Dr Catherine Ball takes us on an astounding journey through the next big technology breakthroughs that have the potential to positively shape our world.

As we face challenges globally on multiple fronts, it’s refreshing to hear the positive voice of scientific futurist Dr Catherine Ball. In Converge she presents insights into how technology and science are providing answers to many of the challenges the world is facing today – food shortages, war and conflict, the decline in local manufacturing, health and ageing, and global warming – and asks why we are not embracing these technologies more widely.

The answer in many cases is, ‘Because we don’t know about them!’ Well, now we do. Dr Catherine opens our eyes to the amazing, wide world of technological advancements and explores the role we all have in learning more, owning the conversations, and determining what we want technology to be.

What is the role AI can play in the resurgence of local manufacturing and creating new jobs? Can we vaccinate against cancer? How can drones save lives and assist Mother Nature in her fight to stop humans destroying our beloved planet? And how can we utilise the best modern technologies to live longer, healthier and happier lives?

Written with wit, tenacity, and deeply personal experiences, Converge offers an optimistic, in-depth and fascinating investigation into the possibilities of a world where humans fully embrace technology.

Some futurists review research and report on what it tells us about the future. Other futurists look to the future and dream. Dr Catherine Ball looks to the future and rolls up her sleeves to find out where science and technology will be useful – and to ensure we leave a legacy of hope for future generations.

They're ok
Size: Large, Color: Set-mu2
These are ok. I'm 5'6", 150lbs. I got a large. The colors are fun. The waist band is comfortable, fits well, doesn't dig in, and sits high enough to not affect a my C-section scar, but they constantly ride up.

Cotton panties need to be the standard- these are amazing!
Color: C-multicolor(6 Pack), Size: Medium
SO comfortable!! I’ve never owned a pair of 95-100% cotton underwear and I’m never going back. These are so breathable, soft and well made for an affordable price! The lacey detail is so cute and feminine. I got the mediums cause I don’t like my underwear squeezing me but don’t want them too loose either. After washing and drying they fit nicely. They hit at waist as well which I love. Would definitely recommend!

Comfortable Cotton Underwear
These cotton underwear are the perfect combination of comfort and cuteness. They fit true to size and feel very soft and comfortable for everyday wear. The cotton material is breathable and comfortable enough to wear all day without any issues. I also really like the lace detail. It adds a little bit of style and femininity without taking away from the comfort at all. The lace is soft rather than itchy, which is a huge plus. The colors are all pretty and exactly as pictured. They also hold up well after washing. I did not notice any shrinking, stretching, or fading, and they kept their shape nicely. Overall, these are comfortable, flattering, and well made underwear.

Comfy everyday undies
These were really comfortable for everyday wear and didn’t dig in or roll throughout the day. The quality of the cotton felt soft and breathable while still having enough stretch to fit nicely. I also liked that they stayed fairly seamless under leggings and thinner clothing. Good balance between comfort and practicality. I’ve worn them several times and no sign of wear and tear thus far.
