It was written back in the 90’s I believe. I was shocked how close they were to events that have already occurred.

There was a book that completely changed my perspective that I read in the early 1990’s.

It was a book that was passionately recommended by one of my clients, I was a Stockbroker.

It was a stupid little paperback called “Life after Television” by George Gilder.

Nevermind the failed predictions contained in his book or those of a dozen others that I read as a result. Failed predictions from Bill Gates and “The Road ahead” to those of Nicholas Negroponte with “Being Digital”, Alvin Toffler and others.

The common theme was that of human nature.
