<p>The Washington Post called The Long Boom "a future-history and a challenge"-and that is exactly what it is: the story of the world's future, powered by emerging technologies, and a political vision that can help realize an era of unprecedented growth and opportunity. The Long Boom urges everyone to recognize that global prosperity, a sustainable environment, broad social progress, and even radically extended lifespans are very possible-if not probable-in the 20 years to come.</p>

<p>Who better to help us foresee how emerging trends will help shape the agenda for business in the first decade of the twenty-first century than Global Business Network, the renowned futurist think tank and strategic consulting firm, where some of the greatest minds from these fields converge and converse? In What's Next?, GBN's President, Eamonn Kelly, and its "knowledge developer," Peter Leyden, weave together fresh, new insights from expansive interviews with many of the Network's key thinkers, including: Stewart Brand on civilization, Mary Catherine Bateson on cultural change, Paul Hawken on the anti-globalization movement, Esther Dyson on Russia, Kevin Kelly on thinking globally, and Francis Fukuyama on biotechnology. The result is a thought-provoking, and inspiring guide to the ideas, concepts, and forces that will influence business in an era of increasing uncertainty-and opportunity.Visit the GBN website at www.gbn.org.</p>

The authors begin at what they see as the birth of modern technology - 1980 - and chart the story of the furture through to 2020 in a captivating narrative format, inter-linked with material from a documentary produced in the year 2050 and a series of letters from a fictional character written in ten-year intervals beginning in 1980. The authors see the long boom as a period of sustained growth that could eventually double the world's economy every dozen years and bring increasing properity to billions of people on the planet. Today we are riding the early waves of this expanding economy that in time could do much to solve many of the intractable global problems, such as poverty and ease tension throughout the world. This, according to the authors, is the possibility. But it is not inevitable. We sill all have to make the choice to go for growth. 'The Long Boom' is an incredibly powerful vision of the future. It is radical, optomistic and captivating. It cannot be ignored.
