NEWEST ISSUE OF THE FUTURIST EXAMINES WAR AND PEACE IN THE 21st CENTURY

Bethesda, MD: Tomorrow's foreign policy planners will have to work in a climate of reduced response time and increased disaster potential.

In the November-December issue of THE FUTURIST, George Washington University science and innovation professor William E. Halal pools the insights of 100 high-tech executives, scientists, engineers, academics, consultants, futurists, and other leading experts around the world to outline how the technology revolution is poised to transform life over the next 20 to 30 years.
