Nobody knew that we'd be cloning animals and cracking our own genetic code. Today, we have autonomous agents scouring the internet, tracking our every move and anticipating our next moves. Virtual reality surgery is commonplace in Europe. Our bloodstreams are highways for microscopic medicinal devices. Our money is reduced to bits-not paper, not coins, but virtual bits that can be shifted, deleted, taken from us by the whim of a computer program.
Electronic viruses invade our homes, destroying our most important financial and personal records.
TechnoLife 2020 shows you. We back up our fictional account of tomorrow with details straight from today's science and technology research. So while you follow Joe through one day in his ordinary life, you learn why his day is one day in your own future. If you're curious about tomorrow, you've come to the right place.
