★★★★★ Review: The Future Show by Chong Tze Chien and Jo Tan

Making sense of the uncertain future, one moment at a time. Life often moves at breakneck speed, so fast that we hardly have time to reflect on all we’ve been through. To take a moment to pause and consider the sum total of our experiences then, is a luxury we must afford, if we are to actively, consciously build a better future for ourselves.
