Tyl, a Harvard graduate and astrologer for 30 years, offers 58 specific predictions of world events that will take place between now and the year 2012. For those put off by astrology, Tyl confines his trines, conjunctions, and ascendants to starred footnotes, so that the book might be read strictly as a futurist's forecast. Each chapter begins with a sweeping historical overview that places current and conjectured events in perspective. Many of his predictions are intriguing: Iran will become an atomic power in 2000; China will abandon Communism by 1999; a U.S. president will be assassinated in 2012, after which the nation will become a center of world government. For some reason Tyl includes no predictions about Russia, though he does say we will make the first contact with aliens in 2004. Speculative but insightful.
