A cheap idea but lots of prestigious contributors. Worth reviewing now 2020 to embarrass the original authors. (

There are over 100 essays in this book and many of them are very similar. The editor could have easily whittled that number down to the 40-50 most original predictions. (

Almost all of the short articles are about other worlds, DNA, and related topics. Yawn. I didn't spend much time speed reading this. (
