Predicting The 21st Century.
At the dawn of a new millennium some of the world's foremost academics and writers offer fascinating and at times frightening predictions for the world's future.
Felipe Fernandez-Armesto predicts that scientific progress will stimulate religion, religion will provoke more wars, and fundamentalism will threaten world peace. John Gribbin gives a concise history of the universe and looks at such exotic ideas as the theory that our universe was "born" out a black hole in another universe. Francois Heisbourg sees an ominous future where tribal warfare will prosper and where sectarian high-tech terrorists will dominate.
From terrorism to religion, disease to manipulative reproduction, media to moral values, 'The Future Now' is an enormously stimulating and illuminating book.
