About this book

Out of the blue: Wild cards and other big future surprises : how to anticipate and respond to profound change by John L. Petersen. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780965902724.

Wild cards are low probability, high impact events that catch most people by surprise. Weve always dealt with surprises, but Petersen explains why, now, the magnitude of the surprises is greater than ever, and illustrates how certain trends in computer science; social behavior; life expectancy; national and global security; space expeditions; and consciousness research--just to name a few--might converge....or collide.
