Memories of Alvin Toffler and his Future Shock come flooding back in this stimulating and clever look at our potential future. Filled with provocative forecasts about how the world might change in the next half century, Future Files examines emerging patterns and developments in society, technology, economy, and business, making educated speculations as to where they might take us.However, Future Files is not primarily about prediction. Its goal is to liberate our collective and individual imaginations so that we can see the familiar in a new light, the unfamiliar with greater clarity, and to make individuals and organisations think about where we are going and to consider whether, when we get there, it will be worth staying.Prediction is a dangerous game - the future is never a straight, linear extrapolation from the present.
