«Definitely a "must read" book.»

John Gribbin, Independent

«There is material in this remarkable and well-written book for lively controversy, but that can only be good . . . Two special points emerge. First is the sheer scope of the book and the way in which so many diverse ideas are put together and effectively related to each other. Second is the author's optimism.»

Sir Crispin Tickell, The Times Literary Supplement

«This epic new piece of futurology aims no less than to ensure the survival of the human race . . . It's up to our children to determine how well we cope with the revolution, so get them to read this lively, readable, provocative and occasionally inspiring book as soon as possible.»

Laurence Phelan, Independent on Sunday

«[An] extremely good book . . . You would be hard-pressed to find a more sensible and readable digest of the concerns we have to face this century.»

The Sunday Times, CULTURE magazine

«Britain's leading futurologist . . . Martin is able to describe extraordinarily complex technological advances in easily accessible terms.»

Tony Allen-Mills, Sunday Times
