Résumé

From medicine to the movies, from computers to the climate, change is everywhere around us, transforming the way we will live, work, play, and learn. We're likely to experience as much change in the next three decades as we have in the past two centuries.

In such a world, how do we make sense of our future -- and our place within it?

TechTV's Catalog of Tomorrow offers an exciting glimpse at the new trends and technologies that will shape our lives, our society and our planet over the next 15 to 20 years. Extensively researched and beautifully designed, packed with eye-opening timelines, statistics, and pointers to online resources, TechTV's Catalog of Tomorrow is more than a book: it's a tool for thinking about the future.

Edited by futurist Andrew Zolli, this brain-bending look beyond today's event horizon assembles provocative insights from such distinguished contributors as:

Paul Saffo, leading futurist and director of the Institute for the Future
Craig Venter, co-decoder of the human genome
Jef Raskin, designer of the original Macintosh computer
Christine Peterson, expert on nanotechnology and president of the Foresight Institute
Richard Garriott, legendary video game designer
Clement Bezold, president of Alternative Futures
Douglas Rushkoff, cultural critic, commentator, and author
John Arquilla, leading military theorist on the future of war
Maurice Strong, Senior Advisor to the United Nations and World Bank and organizer of the Rio Earth Summit
Rory Stears, CEO of Freeplay, pioneers in human-powered devices
Frank Drake, astrophysicist and chairman of the SETI Institute

Cloning, artificial intelligence, genetically modified food, wearable computers, "smart houses", security in a post-9/11 world -- here's an "almost" familiar world that's rushing your way faster than you thought possible. If you'd like to meet it halfway -- and have a say in how, when, and where it arrives -- open TechTV's Catalog of Tomorrow today.
