Author: Bruce Sterling

Rating: 3/5

Inside Jacket Snippet: ‘… describes the world our children might be living in over the next fifty years and what to expect next in culture, geopolitics, and business. …’

Comments: This book was published in 2002, so to read a book predicting the next fifty years about 10 years after it has been published is a bit strange. Too close in time to say his predictions are wrong, but far enough away to have those same predictions feel dated. The book contains many concise smart predictions, but then is rambley and melodramatic talking to future generations about random topics. So overall this book is an OK read, but I will search out more recently published futurism books to recommend.
