Out of the blue: Wild cards and other big future surprises : how to anticipate and respond to profound change: John L Petersen: 9780965902724: Amazon.com: Books
Wild cards are low probability, high impact events that catch most people by surprise. Weve always dealt with surprises, but Petersen explains why, now, the magnitude of the surprises is greater than ever, and illustrates how certain trends in computer science; social behavior; life expectancy; national and global security; space expeditions; and consciousness research--just to name a few--might converge....or collide.
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
The book is a result of real US government “play” scenarios on how the populous will respond to different situations that have yet to occur.
I first saw this book in the late 90’s. I remembered that a global pandemic was one of the scenarios. Fun to see how what was predicted would happen, happened.
