If we succeed in finding ways to support massive gains in population combined with dizzying technological progress, we have a magnificent future ahead of us. If we fail, we may well be headed for a new Dark Ages. <br/><br/> In this provocative and prophetic book, Martin argues that we can use our intelligence and technology to transform the world rather than destroy it. Drawing on decades of experience as one of the world's most widely respected authorities on technology's impact on our lives, Martin outlines specific, achievable solutions for solving a wide array of problems, from repairing ocean ecosystems to lowering the birthrate to coping with advances in nanotechnology. 171076 2006 The Meaning of the 21st Century: A Vital Blueprint for Ensuring Our Future total:26|5:8|4:5|3:12|2:0|1:1| 26 97 53 5 1 0 false false Tue Nov 03 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 04 13:17:54 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 04 14:12:49 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sun Nov 30 14:42:42 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 30 14:49:56 -0800 2008 more...]]> 0 0 false false Tue Apr 29 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 29 07:36:38 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 29 07:43:00 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sun Sep 09 10:50:08 -0700 2007 Tue Jun 09 04:16:20 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri May 30 06:23:04 -0700 2008 Fri May 30 06:23:24 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Nov 25 13:20:46 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 25 13:20:46 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Tue Nov 17 10:09:22 -0800 2009 Tue Nov 17 10:09:22 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Oct 04 19:42:32 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 04 19:42:39 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Aug 12 21:11:55 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 12 21:11:55 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Jul 13 03:03:38 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 13 03:03:38 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed May 27 12:39:08 -0700 2009 Wed May 27 12:39:08 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon May 11 11:20:25 -0700 2009 Mon May 11 11:20:25 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Apr 20 16:09:47 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 20 16:09:47 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Apr 19 04:48:50 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 19 04:48:50 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed Apr 15 23:21:20 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 15 23:21:21 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Apr 10 23:32:18 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 10 23:32:45 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Mar 30 00:52:11 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 30 00:52:11 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Mar 19 23:22:05 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 19 23:22:05 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sun Mar 15 05:20:14 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 15 05:20:14 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Feb 15 22:21:39 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 15 22:21:39 -0800 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1204927
