From the preface to the Revised Edition: "This book originally appeared in 1962 and was based upon essays written during the period 1959-1961. Since it was concerned largely with ultimate possibilities, and not with achievements to be expected in the near future, even the remarkable events of the last decade have dated it very little. . what has changed--and in ways that no one could possibly have predicted--is our entire attitude toward the future, and especially toward technology as a whole."
