Description

This book is the first history of scientific thought about future social events and trends, covering the years 1794 to 1982. One of the best ways to prepare to make scientific predictions about the future is to review the predictions made by the most able and/or stimulating earlier futurists, and their reasons for making them. Unfortunately, these predictions are scattered among hundreds of different books and articles, and no history of them has been available. As a result, most futurists have paid little attention to the brilliant contributions of their predecessors. They rarely explain whether their own ideas are original in part or whole. This book presents a précis of the thought of past futurists, so that future futurists can understand and acknowledge the contributions of their intellectual ancestors.
