Fantastic post. I'm definitely curious about reading this book. I love futurism and trying to predict what might happen. It's like a great big puzzle with so many pieces, and you have to imagine how they might fit together... how they might affect each other, and how they might affect culture.

In a previous post hypothesising about how Steemit might be revolutionary, I mentioned the story from Duck Tales where Fenton Crackshell accidentally hypes up a product that doesn't exist, and Scrooge McDuck is ecstatic, because he knows that the hype - the attention - is valuable, and having so much attention on their non-existent product means they are sure to make money. Now, with Steemit, we can see how true that really is.
