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.
