THE 500 YEAR DELTA

This work is a reflection on the implications of living in a postmodern world. The authors call for listeners to embrace a world of both chaos and connectivity, making the best out of both. They conclude with a series of predictions, some encouraging and some depressing, about what the world will look like in the future. Wacker, a so-called "futurist," reads clearly with good pace and some irreverence. The tone of his voice also communicates the central theme of the work: You'd better understand the emerging world or you'll be left behind. M.L.C. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT 97]
