Owen Davies is a former senior editor at "Omni "magazine and a freelance writer specializing in science, technology, and the future. He lives in New Hampshire.
From Library Journal
Cetron and Davies see the future through a rose-colored crystal ball: This uncritical and unfailingly optimistic bundle of predictions covers politics (the GOP keeps the White House), science (computers get smaller), medicine (AIDS cured), the environment (cleaned up), business (high-tech jobs), and religion ("right-wing" churches in, women in--the pulpit). Most assumptions are based either on a heartwarming faith in the "American way" (current problems in education will be straightened out because it is imperative that they be addressed), or on a scalding conservatism that runs through this book like an undertow (terrorists will not attack the U.S. Congress, because "the liberal Democrats on the Hill may be the only force that prevents the extreme right wing from immediately destroying several troublesome countries in the Middle East"). Mostly a manifesto for wishful thinking, with little objective support for the forecasts, and on the hard questions, like the drug problem, they waffle. No seers here.Fortune Book Club.
