After all the dismal political, financial, judicial news of the week, this book was a shot in the arm. Thinking about the future is the best way to ignore the foibles of my fellow citizens. Good book to borrow from the library but not to buy.

It was comical to read this book 12 years after its initial publication; closer to 2030 than when it was written. I can see some ideas possibly coming to fruition and it's fun to read about some of the futuristic ideas. As a librarian, I was disappointed in the way the book seemed to make libraries and librarians obsolete replacing it with a multimedia production and research center.It ended on a nice note.
