Seizing the Future [PDF ebook] 
Dawn of the Macroindustrial Era

"Marked by verve, vision, and a thorough familiarity with the field, this book buoys the spirit, challenges conventional thinking, and arms the reader as do few comparable works in futuristics. Engagingly written, and free of both jargon and pretentiousness, it sets a high standard for 21st century explorations."–Arthur B. Shostak, Drexel University
