21 of 23 people found the following review helpful. Bursting at the seams with new ideas, innovative solutions and full-on imaginative thinking. By Ken Dychtwald I have been following James Canton’s work and ideas for years. In his two previous books Technofutures and The Extreme Future he provided thought-provoking glimpses into what he views are the key forces re-shaping our world. As the years unfold and so many of his predictions come to life, he has proven time and again to have an uncanny sixth sense for what’s waiting for us both around the bend – and far beyond the horizon. This exciting new book Future Smart may very well be his tour de force. Whether or not you’ll agree with all of his prognostications is hardly the point. What matters is that if you’re curious about where we're heading, Canton serves up a vast panorama of challenges and opportunities in an extraordinarily wide range of fields, including bio-technology, medicine, global commerce, finance, marketing, energy/fuel, work/play, nation-shaping, warfare, learning/education and thinking itself.With a lifelong belief that the future just doesn’t happen – but rather that we create it, Canton has delivered a book that is simply bursting at the seams with new ideas, innovation solutions and full-on imaginative thinking.

Yet even getting a bit of a lead to what might be around the corner can still be a good thing.This book aims to give you at least a head start. The author has consulted his crystal ball and looks at what he says could be some of the most important game-changing trends and considers how the reader could react to and profit from them. In just a couple of decades, it is said, we could face major seismic shifts to our everyday lives. What won’t be changing? Health and medicine, technology and communications, the global economy, the earth's climate, energy and business all face big challenges.The author seeks to help the reader “future smart” themselves. Guarantees are, of course, not given. Yet promises are. As the book notes by reading it:”… You could become Future Smart: be able to see the changes and signals that will create a trend or alter the future before that future emerges. I can promise you that the trends in this book may give you an inside track, an insight that may transform your life, work, and, of course, and transform your future for the better.”Despite having an interest in this area, this book didn’t really do it for this reviewer. It has a lot of potential and great insights but it suffers from verbosity and a general lack of focus. Instead of being gripped by the forecast of change and its positives and negatives, one was just being turned off. It was getting tiresome, arduous and uninspiring. A feeling of being short-changed and disappointed. This is the exact opposite of what it should be! Could the book have been one-third smaller and one-third more engaging? You bet. Here is a great case to show that quality would trump quantity.Please! If this book is even one-tenth as good as it proclaims, it needs a massive rewrite. It doesn’t need dumbing down, it just needs opening up. If we face such seismic, life-changing challenges in the future, why put barriers up to stop people learning about what might happen and seeking to prepare themselves for this tidal wave?
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Good, but could have been much better By C. Bess There are some very useful perspectives included in this book, but it seems to suffer from a 'silicon valley' based "We've got this right." point of view. The goal of making us question the possibilities and call for us to reinvent ourselves were addressed, but the range of possibilities and alternatives and the need for diverse perspectives and interaction were not as well brought out. Many of the scenarios were low-hanging fruit that have been chewed on for years. It left me wanting more.
