"The Future Factor" offers an inspiring, optimistic view of the
human future. Sociologist Michael G. Zey shows how breathtaking
innovations in fields such as biotechnology, computing, robotics,
medicine, energy development and space technology are catapulting
global society into a new era of abundance and prosperity. As the
third millennium begins, technological breakthroughs provide
unprecedented opportunities for growth, profitability and
organizational and personal reinvention. However, to stay ahead of
the curve and anticipate future developments before competitors and
peers do, leaders, companies and individuals must be equipped with
the capacity to make informed decisions. In "The Future Factor,"
Zey provides the sophisticated cutting-edge knowledge needed to
achieve competitive advantage that individuals require to make
career and life choices. Zey paints a big picture of new
forces--biogenesis, cybergenesis, species coalescence and
dominionization--that are subtly impacting society and the global
economy and changing forever the way we live. Among the subjects
explored in this wide-ranging book are: the role cybergenisis will
play in making humans healthier; the universal communication
network based on the Internet and virtual reality; biogenesis, gene
therapy and decoding the human genome; "next generation" robots,
smart machines and their impact on economic growth; the
colonization of space and the advent of "space tourism";
fusion-based energy and its effect on the environment and global
economy; global transportation and a worldwide superhighway; and
biotechnological breakthroughs in agriculture and food production.
