Title: Whose prediction do you believe?
Review: In the early seventies, science fiction writers wrote about buying bottled water, no-drink days on public water supplies, smog warnings in large cities, and drug resistant bacteria ravaging hospitals with what used to be innocent infections.Most of these 'radicals' were lampooned, and placed in the same categories as Star Trek, and Buck Rogers.John Brunner was one of these crackpots.He predicted a day where the consumption of organic foods became fashionable. He predicted a day where you might see traffic jams lasting hours which would shutdown large cities. He predicted days where medical waste would close the beaches of Southern California.All of these overly-sarcastic and ridiculous visions of the future have come true.This places us at the beginning of _The_Sheep_Look_Up_.This book should be a must read for everyone over the age of 14, to help us as a society understand the seemingly innocuous consequences of consumerism.
