What will the world look like in the much longer term, in twenty, or even fifty, years’ time? The future, of course, is unknowable but in this chapter I will try to tease out what might be some of its more salient features. Such an approach, needless to say, is entirely speculative, resting on a range of assumptions some of which will inevitably prove to have been wrong.
Such an honest statement makes this book worth reading.
