Review: In this book experts forecast the future from where they see it in 2002. As Arthur C. Clarke said ‘Predicting the Automobile was easy; anticipating the traffic jam was another matter’. The catalogue looks at the anticipated trends that will shape our lives in the next 15–20 years: our tools (bioscience, computing, nanotechnology, media and health); our society (citizens of the future, places and spaces, transport and travel, education, security and warfare); our planet (global challenges, energy, and exploration). Each well-presented two-page topic lays out the expert’s prediction and gives a list of web sites, from which more information can be obtained.
