Profiles of the future
One of the most absorbing books I have read.
Arthur C Clarke, one of the greatest sci-fi writers of all time, wrote this book in the 1960s.
He predicts the future of scientific developments by logic and anecdotes of failed predictions of the past.
Made all the more interesting now that we are 50 years into the future.
