Future - Andre Grau

Many people see the future as a golden age
while others predict disaster
but
in the words of C. F. Kettering
an American industrialist
"We should all be concerned about the future because we will have to spend the rest of our lives there." The 20th century has seen more changes than any other and the changes have been more rapid. And throughout all its changes and turmoil
people have predicted the future. Future investigates the predictions made about the 20th century
and looks forward to the 21st century and beyond. By consulting futurologists and scientists about their work
the book is able to give a balanced view of economic and social concerns
advances in information technology and robotics
the exploration of space and genetic engineering
transport and the environment.
