Description
While events are thought to give destiny its momentum, author John Casti thinks otherwise. In this entirely original look at the science of prediction, Casti offers a unique take on the subject that has long fascinated astrologers and diviners: the future. The future, he maintains, is shaped not by external events but by changes in social mood--;for instance, pessimistic people create an unproductive economy rather than vice versa. It is this unusual premise as well as his "science of surprise" (which lets readers anticipate trends in politics and music) that make Destiny's Design fascinating for anyone interested in learning how the future actually happens.
