In the age of social media we know that futurology with an accent on technology is a key for politicians, business people and all of us as citizens of this ever crowded planet. Singh has laid out a fascinating scenario which should make us think hard about the world our children are going to inherit." - Steve Norris Former British Minister and London Mayoral candidate
