Repetitive dull meanderings about Sports and mediocre attempts at non-linear thinking might be signs that John Naisbitt is past his prime. The overall effect of the book is neither juicy nor revelatory and its "easy to read" format makes it even easier to stop reading. I felt no force in this text, none of the potency of the future.
As with a great many "forecasting" books this volume is quite conventional, portraying those general themes which are predictably agreed upon by most forecasters and in the non-astonishing style that cries out "I was written for middle-management!"
In the process of seeking out and assimilating the picture of the world-which-is AND the world -which-is-about-to-be we must be cautious enough to attend to the conventional "unconventional forecasters" but daring enough to distinguish them from that other category, that much more mysterious category... the visionary.
Whomsover would like to embody a higher knowledge must not only find good insights... but learn to disagree with them. The true image of tomorrow is as much the antagonist of projections as it is their fulfillment.
"The future is embedded in the present." - John Naisbitt.
