Yeah, I just did a book club tonight on futurist trends for NC's economy in 2050, which were all essentially, "Whatever's happening now? More of that." Totally linear thinking, as though inertia is the only relevant factor. What about societal choice? What about Black Swan events that force us to re-evaluate those choices? The sequel to Stand on Zanzibar is called The Sheep Look Up.
