SciTech Book News:has written:
"Writing primarily for corporate executives, Canton (chairman and CEO of the Institute for Global Futures), a one-time student of futurist Alvin Toffler, predicts the top trends of the "extreme future," which is defined by speed, complexity, risk, change, and surprise. His predictions are presented in ten chapters that grapple with energy issues, the emerging innovation economy, the changing American workforce, longevity medicine technology, emerging science ("from teleportation to nanobiology to multiple universes"), security issues, economic and cultural globalization, climate change, the changing role of the individual, and Sino-American relations.
