5.0 out of 5 stars The World of the Future (in 1979), October 6, 2008

This review is from: The Usborne Book of the Future: A Trip in Time to the Year 2000 and beyond (Paperback)
An absolute classic.

I still have copies of all three books and they are still way ahead of their time. The Usborne company came up with a truly ground breaking way to show kids that the future could be exciting and utopian if we just made the right choices, which we of course haven't...

1979: "What happens in the cities of the future depends a lot on what measures are taken to take care of our world, the Earth. Adequate steps must be taken to control pollution and conserve energy until oil replacements are developed and to develop agriculture to feed 6,000 million people."

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best book ever made, May 25, 2008
This review is from: The Usborne Book of the Future: A Trip in Time to the Year 2000 and beyond (Paperback)
I won't pick apart all the reasons while the predictions and illustrations have not happened the way described within this great utopian kids book. I think that reading this in elementary school in the 80's made me excited then as now. I don't care personally if I ever live in such a place, but it's great to see such amazing innovations, this is a different experience, a vacation for the mind, from the real world.
