Review

"...Many books about the technology and the future become outdated and even farcical in a short amount of time. Think about Cold War era predictions about colonizing the moon and mining on Mars at the turn of the millennium, or predictions of early computer experts that computers would be limited to government and a few large companies. The authors of this book combine future predictions with discussions about the process of change and education to make a powerful and enduring contribution to the field..." (T.D.
