Thanks to the technological wonders of AI (Artificial Intelligence) counselors, smart robots, and "improved" babies, ordinary human beings will still have to cope, but with far less stress than they do today. In this challenging narrative, the ravages of a money-driven market have been left far behind and replaced with a viable credit system that enhances stability rather than growth and eliminates the glaring inequalities of capitalism.
This book, one of the last utopian tracts of the century, presents a broad perspective on one possible future. 2099 will encourage readers to consider the vast potential of different plausible futures in the next millennium.
