Ask HN: Books about IT & technology trends, 10 - 15 years ahead

2 points by bbhacker ↗ HN
I remember back in the late 90s when I was reading lots of books about the digital revolution, information age and mega trends.

Some of the books I remember:

Nicola Negroponte: Total Digital Bill Gates: The Road Ahead John Naisbitt: High Tech, High Touch Neil Gershenfeld: When things start to think

I am currently looking for books that are similar and research major trends and technological developments.

Especially books that look into potential development paths in the next 10-20 years with regard to

- information technology - energy sector / green technology - globalization trends - biotechnology

Of course non of these books will or should predict the future - it is up to us to create it. But it would be interesting to better understand the status quo in these domains and the current problems where research is focused on.

HN, do you have any recommendations? What are books (or other sources) that you could recommend?
