Synopsis

This is a scientific survey of what the 21st century might hold. Dispelling pessimism, the book presents a balanced picture of our destinies, offering four possible scenarios - technological growth, social change, economic globalism and political establishment.

From the Author

Better, see what the reviewers said about Future Revolutions
Ian Pearson (Futurologist - BT Labs) - this book gives a uniquely believable and all-embracing insight into the future, picking out the likely from the possible.

Yvonne Cook (The Independent) - probably one of the most ambitious projects in scientific stargazing ever attempted...this is not pie in the sky but a serious undertaking which aims to provide those in positions of power and influence with a key to the future

Nick Land (Chairman Ernst & Young) - in the fast changing environment in which we live, no organisation can take for granted its long-term survival. This book simply offers the best possible planning map for the future. Without it you may be flying blind.
