The future is already prologue. Were in the midst of a sea of change in human history "The Five-Hundred-Year Delta" is a point in time when the three great rivers of thought that have shaped our culture (Reason, Market Economy, and Social Organization) converge as they come to their ends. This watershed period heralds a time of change so swift, so massive, that by century's end it will have swept away nearly the entire underpinnings of modern life. We will shift from a Reason-based mode of thought to a Chaos-based one; Producer-controlled markets will collapse into Demand-controlled ones; and our social, political, and economic organization will fracture. Here to guide us through this turbulent time are futurist extraordinaire Watts Wacker and Jim Taylor.
