About This Item
Toned, else content appears as unread and unblemished with good+ wraps displaying minimal surface/edge wear, as shown.
I spent many, many hours as a kid devouring this book, imagining what the world might be like in the near and distant future. It was fun to learn how wrong predictions often are, and how scarily right a few of them are. I like to return to the book every now and then to see how many of these predictions have turned out.
This book taught me several things, some opposite of each other: the value of conservative predictions based on present-day conditions, and also the personal enrichment from stretching the imagination with wild, way-out-there predictions. After all, many of the modern inventions of the last 150 years came out of bold, sometimes outlandish imaginings. This book was like protein for a hungry mind. Predictions
