This fascinating new book contains a series of predictions about the 21st century from thirty of today's great minds-including Noam Chomsky, Arthur C. Clarke, Richard Dawkins, Umberto Eco, J. K. Galbraith, Steven Pinker, and Peter Singer. The predictions outline the discoveries and changes that the contributors expect to see happen, both inside and outside their own fields. Each prediction is preceded by a profile of the author, setting their work in context and explaining their theories or inventions. The glittering list of contributors includes Nobel laureates, best-selling writers, intellectual icons, and scientists at the cutting edge of research. They take as their themes a diverse set of subjects, from the future for Africa to space travel, from the mystery of consciousness to the setting up of fertility banks, from animal rights to the way children will interact with electronic toys. Thought-provoking and inspirational, the book suggests directions for present and future thought across a broad range of fields as we enter the 21st century.
