Customer Reviews

A majestic tour de force of what is to be.

As a manager for the advanced technology practice of one of the world's leading executive search firms, I found Dr. Canton's book comprehensive, illuminating, and deeply insightful. It is a beautiful work of art, a majestic tour de force of what is to be, detailing how technology will impact our lives beyond our wildest expectations. The material is comprehensive, yet easily understood. I came to appreciate life in this era of aggressive change and discovery. Dr. Canton's book is a must-read for any inquisitive mind, young or old, and is actually difficult to put down. I have purchased additional copies as gifts for clients.

Inspirational, informative and captivating

Dr. Canton is Heinleinesque in the way he weaves a coherent, congruent, knowledgeable and thoroughly entertaining story about the future of technology and its influence on our lives. I believe his predictions serve as a blueprint for where to position your career, investments and personal interests over the next half century. I was blown away by his insight into the future of medicine, specifically and quite selfishly, his prediction that I may clone my favorite dog right down to its personality. Dr. Canton forced me to my learning and dreaming edge, right where you want to be if your goal is to endeavor into the technological fray, but aren't sure exactly how and where.

Your Life, Your World, Your Future

Technofutures is an eye-opening experience into the world we live in today and the world we will live in soon. If you have any desire to know how life will be on earth and in the heavens, this is the book to read.

Brilliant insight on key trends and innovations.

This is one futurist in a million that has it right! From the future of electronic commerce, robots, bioscience, computers and more--it is a comprehensive tour of the next century written by a noted futurist who makes sense. I heartily recommend it to anyone interested in preparing for the future and in understanding the tech chaos all around us. Easy to read, accessible and imaginative for the CEO or college student.

Brilliant, mind-boggling, out-of-the-box preview of tomorrow

Technofutures is a mind-boggling and often brilliant, out-of-the-box look at the future of technology and how it will transform our lives. Canton has an extraordinarily inventive mind with which he is able to conjure up literally thousands of new products, new businesses and perhaps, most important, a panoramic new view of tomorrow. Whether you are a techno-wizard or a luddite, reading Technofutures is sure to be a blast. I loved this book and can't wait to see what Canton will dream up next.
