2030: Technology That Will Change the World par Rutger van Santen
The authors' attempted lookahead period is just 20 years, and their addressed concerns, though certainly important, are hardly spine-tingling: water, food, energy, industry, natural resources, environment, health, education, etc. The parts on digital technology are relatively interesting. "The Internet already consumes more energy than global aviation." (p 120)
