But like any spaceship, it will cease to function if we don't look after it. Crystal Balls of the 21st Century is about the current trends in the economy, energy, environment and technology. It is about why humanity is heading towards a predicament, threatening the prosperity of our next generation at a very limited timeframe. It is also about about how humanity will use technology to reverse that and recreate a world worth inheriting.
