Description

The world is an uncertain place, which is why the future and the unknown absolutely fascinate us.

Veteran television journalist Mike Wallace asked the question "What will life be like 50 years from now?" to sixty of the world's greatest minds.

Their responses offer a fascinating glimpse into the cultural, scientific, political, and spiritual moods of the times.

Edited and with an introduction by Mike Wallace, this book provides an imaginative and thought-provoking look into our collective soul and the critical issues that underlie our hopes, prayers, fears, and dreams for life in the 21st century.
