If there is anything that distinguishes us from animals, it is our
ability to understand that such a thing as the future exists and
our willingness to try and look into it. But how have people
through the ages gone about making predictions? What were their
underlying assumptions, and what methods did they use? Have
increased computer power and the newest algorithms improved our
success in anticipating the future, or are we still only as good
(or as bad) at it as our ancestors? From the ancients watching the
flight of birds to the murky activities of Google and Facebook
today, Seeing into the Future gives us an insight into the past,
present and future of prediction.
