The Next 100 Years: A Forecast for the 21st Century by George FriedmanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
George Friedman is a respected futurist and forecaster. I think any attempt to make any kind of concrete speculation on the scale that he does is undoubtedly going to be rife with errors, but he does a good job of contextualizing his claims, and they're not implausible. While I disagree with some of the fundamental bases of his predictions, it is nonetheless an excellent compliment to other authos on geopolitics and foreign affairs such as Robert D Kaplan. For a good companion piece, try Radical Evolution by Joel Garreau, which focuses exclusively on the technology.
