The skeptics' guide to the future: what yesterday's science and science fiction tell us about the world of tomorrow

Trama

Che si tratti dei salti bizzarri previsti negli anni '20, come le cinture di servizio multiuso con capacità di controllo del clima e aerei delle dimensioni delle navi da crociera di lusso, o le previsioni degli anni '60, che non anticipavano la rivoluzione sessuale o la liberazione delle donne, il percorso verso il presente è disseminato di previsioni fallite e stime errate.
