Reviews

[Eduardo · Rating 3 out of 5]

A vision of the future according to China: what threats and opportunities will present to that country with the coming of the new century. Weird, but they predicted the fall of the USSR and the decline of the United States 15 years before it happened.

I read parts of it for class, but DNF. Interesting format, the parts I read I thought were eye-opening.
