A brief history of tomorrow

"With Sam Goldwyn's famous saying 'Never predict anything - especially the future' firmly in mind, Jonathan Margolis begins with a chastening, and often amusing, look at the history of futurology as predicted by H. G. Wells, George Orwell, Arthur C. Clarke, Stephen Hawking, and Bill Gates, among others. Margolis then takes courage in both hands and sets out to describe the world that's yet to come.

Politics, society, medicine, war, home, work, travel, and space are all destined for great changes."--BOOK JACKET.
