The book delivers an optimistic message: that modern computer technology, especially in the form of the Internet, and globalization - these two in fact can hardly be separated - will reclaim major expanses of human endeavour for the direct involvement of people, largely bypassing the nation state. Book
One, 'Globalization', sketches the detail of this process,
already surprisingly far advanced, under the five headings of Economics,
Culture, Taxation, the Law and Politics. The final chapter of Book One
is devoted to the Internet. Book
Two tracks the future of major human institutions such
as the nation state and language as perfect, real-time translation, electricity-generating
forests, robot pets, an Olympics for bionic people, access to the human
subconscious, the end of compulsory work, electronic human clones and
collective cognitive meeting spaces have their effect.
Book
Three is a futuristic imaginary journey through the whole
of the 21st century and beyond, building on the trends and advances mapped
out in Book Two to create a vision of a very different, but still human
world at the beginning of the 22nd century. |
