Summary: These are just some of the predictions that were made by futurologists, scientists, and technologists twenty years ago for Nigel Calder's famous 1964 symposium titled "The World in 1984." Now, assisted by a supercomputer named O'Brien (after Orwell's villain in 1984), Calder reviews the hits and misses of his project, lets the contributors comment, and begins a startling new cycle of predictions about 2004, from savants such as Herman Kahn, Freeman Dyson, Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., and Barbara Wootton.
