Written in 1984.
35 years ago, Isaac Asimov was asked by the Star to predict the world of 2019. Here is what he wrote
Bottom Line Up Front: 1. Nuclear war. 2. Computerization. 3. Space utilization.
Asimov got 1.5 correct out of 3 (computerization nearly fully; nuclear war .5 because he hedged his prediction that nuclear war would not happen).
Anyway, worth a read on the last day of the year.
Happy New Year to all.
