However, even more interesting is how this book reflects more on when it was published. It came out in 1999, on the cusp of our own millennium, and reflects the gestalt of that era. References to the Y2K bug and Bill Clinton's controversial relationships are there. But what really struck me was the idea that this was written before September 11, before two terms of the Bush administration, before the war on terror. The book has a view of the next century that already sounds quaint and naive. And it's only 10 years ago.

So much has changed.]]>
