This is a truly fascinating document. Some of the best and brightest put there thinking caps on a and look in to the future. Now I've not read all of it yet, there is a lot of quite heavy reading there, but what have read has wet my appetite for more. There is very little (possibly nothing) here about technical innovation, which make sense, since this is the one thing that can't accurately be predicted. No this document covers the state of the world in political and economic terms. Being a bit of a sci-fi buff and a writer of sorts, I have come up with my own ideas about what sorts of futures we could see. I might even publish some of them on my site soon (what this space). My looks in to the future are less well informed that these, and for the most part differ wildly from what I've read so far, but my idea's and there's do coincide on one major fact, the rise of Asia as a economic super power. Nice to know a very little bit of my thinking is in line with some great thinkers.
