From the bestselling authors and hosts of “The Skeptics’ Guide to the Universe,” a high-tech roadmap of the future in their beloved voice, cracking open the follies of futurists past and how technology will profoundly change our world, redefining what it means to be human.
Our predictions of the future are a wild fantasy, inextricably linked to our present hopes and fears, biases and ignorance. Whether they be the outlandish leaps predicted in the 1920s, like multi-purpose utility belts with climate control capabilities and planes the size of luxury cruise ships, or the forecasts of the ‘60s, which didn’t anticipate the sexual revolution or women’s liberation, the path to the present is littered with failed predictions and incorrect estimations. The best we can do is try to absorb the lessons from futurism’s checkered past, perhaps learning to do a little better.
In THE SKEPTICS’ GUIDE TO THE FUTURE, Steven Novella and his co-authors build upon the work of futurists of the past by examining what they got right, what they got wrong, and how they came to those conclusions. By exploring the pitfalls of each era, they give their own speculations about the distant future, transformed by unbelievable technology ranging from genetic manipulation to artificial intelligence and quantum computing. Applying their trademark skepticism, they carefully extrapolate upon each scientific development, leaving no stone unturned as they lay out a vision for the future.

I doubt this will be any good.

Thank you Dean.

Doesn’t Steven Novella take big Ag money to defend glyphosate. I ignore self proclaimed ’skeptics’ who work for special interest.
There’s plenty of skeptic blogs & books that do not have relationships with big industry spokesmodels like Steve.

Predictors of the future get about 1% right. For example I’m still waiting for the flying car pictured on the August 1958 issue of Popular Mechanics. Not to mention all Republicans forming a death cult (I mean even more than they already are) and starving themselves to death in Guyana.

Doesn’t apnea and AudireVidere take big Org money to attack evidence based science. I ignore gullible shills who work for special interest.
Apnea thinks Steve Novella is a spokesmodel! Any random picture of Steve Novella is all the proof you need that apnea is either an idiot or a shill.
