Seizing the future
how the coming revolution in science, technology, and industry will expand the frontiers of human potential and reshape the planet
by Michael G. Zey
Michael Zey argues that an end to social problems such as hunger and poverty and a concurrent increase in the worldwide standard of living are within our grasp. Rather than becoming an information society, as has been predicted by many trend watchers, our society will become a Macroindustrial Culture, one emphasizing large-scale production.
Seizing the Future argues that the technology to transform our world is readily available - and we must adjust our attitudes so that we are able to embrace these changes, which will result in prosperity for all. More than a chronicle of technological transformation, this volume is an agenda for our evolving attitudes. This thought provoking work is essential to the studies of sociologists, economists, and futures studies scholars.
