Summary/Abstract: The text is a review of Joanna Erbel’s book entitled Wychylone w przyszłość. Jak zmienić świat na lepsze (Leaning into the future. How to change the world for the better). The review discusses the key concept of protopia, which is a process of gradual improvement of reality. The examples of effective solutions cited by Erbel are analyzed in the context of categories of the locality and embodiment. A critique of the concept of innovation based on institutional, technologically advanced solutions and requiring large financial outlays is presented.
