Worrying about the future alone in your room can seriously damage your health. Worrying about the future and setting up a multimillion-pound research centre where you can worry about it with other people is another matter. That's what physicist turned computer guru and business consultant James Martin has done. Based at his alma mater, the University of Oxford, the 21st Century School has already attracted such luminaries as philosopher Nick Bostrom and neuroscientist Susan Greenfield. Martin tells Liz Else about living in eco-affluence, his ideas for a new leadership system for the planet and why he has no plans to retire.
