About this title

Synopsis

A report based on eight years of geo-specific research tracks the thirty-five political, economic, social, and technological forces of change and predicts prospects for progress

Reviews

The most densely written futurist tome yet, in the vein of John Naisbitt and Patricia Aburdene's Megatrends 2000 ( LJ 12/1/89), this also goes the furthest beyond the bounds of serious discourse. Business consultant Feather sees a future world whose industries are mostly information, tourism, and outer space; where the greenhouse effect is good news; and where, by way of his smiley-face "Global Forces," everything magically shapes up into a harmonious global economy and single global country. Full of catchy, twisted data (he declares that "the whole of humanity could comfortably stand indoors in Greater New York City" as evidence that the population explosion is not a problem), this is remedial Marshall McLuhan in global harmony with Flash Gordon. Academic libraries may safely ignore, but public libraries should expect some Megatrend -ish demand.
