After reading the first two chapters in this book. I realize several things the author has done that really has shaped the way the book is going to turn out.
He has a list of things he assumes isn't going to happen. One of which is the 3rd world war which arguably is happening right this very moment.
The author assumes that there are no "spectacular" technological discoveries and nothing world altering happens. This will still prove to be an interesting perspective on what the world MIGHT be like in 2050 however I think most people would agree that the reality we live in is filled with unpredictable events.
I dont think anyone without insider knowledge of 9/11 could have predicted 9/11. I don't think anyone with or without insider knowledge of 9/11 could have predicted how that event would change the way the world operates. Often times the modern reality we live in is referred to as "post 9/11". This is because of the drastic changes that took place after 9/11. Fear became the governing factor in North America.
