Abstract
What does the future hold for modern society? The analysis in this book suggests that we face two fundamental future choices: allow the crisis makers free rein, which will derail the technological strategy and bring progress and liberty to an end; or insist that our governments revert to the age-old policy of strategic leadership, which will revive the technological strategy and ensure sustained human development. Today we are at the crossroads. A very real global crisis is emerging that can only be averted if we make the right choices.
