Book excerpt: The 100 Most Entertaining Predictions About the 21st Century is a fun look at the predictions — wacky and wise — that have been made about our new century and millennium. The turning of the 21st century has always attracted predictions, from predictors of all sorts (sci-fi writers, psychics, “seers,” inventors, modern scientists, and even a future prime minister.) They have felt compelled to tell us what was going to happen at the dawn of the third millennium. Now that we’re there, we thought it would be fun to research what has been predicted about our day and see how the predictions turned out. The result is The 100 Most Entertaining Predictions About the 21st Century. Some of the predictions are wacky (see Underwear Converted into Candy ). Some are surprisingly accurate (see Modern Gas Stations ). On some the jury is still out: Will “hovercraft” replace the automobile? (see Highways Give Way to Hovercraft). There was a multitude of predictions to choose from. We narrowed them down to the 100 we found the most interesting. Enjoy!
