We quite rightly celebrate human creativity innovation and entrepreneurship but too often
our triumphs in science engineering and technology come at monumental cost. The human story is
more often a tale of conflict and despair than of nurture love and coexistence. It would be
easy to read the human story as one of tragic hubris. Yet it does not end here. We stand on the
threshold of the future wondering which way the dice will fall. Our wager with posterity is
that human ingenuity intelligence and resilience of spirit are powerful enough to insist upon
a very different future for the human story. Prix Pictet. Human features over 100 outstanding
