Lois Gresh (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 2001

TechnoLife 2020 predicts how future scientific breakthroughs will dramatically affect the way people live, work, and play. Part novel, part scientific explanation, the book reveals how technology will affect fictional Joe Leinster's everyday life in 2020. The lefthand pages contain scientific explanations of how things will work 20 years from now in every area of Joe's life. We watch him struggle to keep his sanity while he chases the elusive and exotic glamour babe of tomorrow, Sherry Anne Scaturro. We pop inside Sherry Anne's head and go with her to the shrink, the doctor, and her high-tech job. Envisioned are virtual love, virtual work, self-monitoring of brain waves, psycho-cyber drugs, cosmetic surgery at one's fingertips and in one's own house, and homes that respond to every need and whim.
