What can a spell-checker tell you about economic trends? Why is the world`s supply of ideas about to double? What did America get right in the nineteenth century that it`s getting wrong in the twenty-first? If Karl Marx were alive today, would he be hosting a show on Fox News?
These are just a few of the provocative questions asked by Sonic Boom, a (mainly) optimistic look at the near future. Sonic Boom tells why the world`s economy is likely to be just fine, with prosperity increasing; why globalization will soon drive us even crazier than it does today; why a chaotic, raucous, unpredictable, stress-inducing, free, prosperous, well-informed, and smart future is coming. The book is rich with specific examples and advice on how to navigate your own way through the craziness that`s ahead. Forbes calls Gregg Easterbrook the best writer on complex topics in the United States, and Sonic Boom will show you why.
