3.0 out of 5 stars Futurama, June 24, 2000

By A Customer

If your in the mood for a road-map of the future printed in the past this is something you might want to unfold. Resorting to a whacky, light-hearted, tone writer David Cohen sets the paces and flavours, the guiding lines and the planned improvements to the coming years, never refraining from penning his comments to vivify the words of the probable or predicted worlds.

4.0 out of 5 stars Will you be ready?, June 25, 2000

This review is from: Are You Ready? the Best and Worst Predictions for the Millennium (Library Binding)

Cloned - no thanks! People can't stand the one of me. And I don't need to see a bunch of organ-harvesting headless humans walking around. I see enough of them in the subway already. Will there be a deep impact and an real armageddon from an asteroid or meteorite? We won't not know what hit us anyway or probably care to survive the aftermath but don't worry someone in the goverment is working on it right now. So rest easy my friends! Although stopping it is compared to hitting a bullet with another bullet. About the Greenhouse effect we finally all agree.There is one. But no one can agree whether it is good or bad or when and what to do about it? Virtual vacations may be be the only type we can take if many of the predictions in this book come true.These are some of the topics touched on in this great short read.There is much scientific and general information but it is easy to read and a pleasure to share with other on those extremely hot long winter nights and/or short cold summer days. Perfect for a JH & High school students who want leisurely reads.
