A sequel to Inventing the Future and another curious little book from this Nobel prize winning scientist who can't stop thinking about the future. It's apparent that some of his views are very dated, conservative and reactionary. But I do think other parts of his views and books are thought-provoking and a little prescient. It's not clear now if all the futuristic foresight in the world can help us, which makes looking back to books like this all the more wondrous.
