It is an extraordinary phenomenon to have in one space six of the best contemporary thinkers: Hendrik Hertzberg’s essays have long been required reading for every literate liberal: what future does he see for politics in the next 100 years? George Friedman predicts the world will continue to be dominated by America; and that her most opulent times are still to come. Cosmologist Marcus Chown may well see a future dominated by quantum computing and meteor strikes. Richard Holloway could predict the complete demise of Christianity as we know it. Mohammed Hanif recently returned to Pakistan after ten years in London and believes that city has changed irrevocably. What does he see in Pakistan’s future? James Surowiecki may surprise us with economic predictions which defy the current gloom. A round of predictions for the century to come. Chair: Sean Plunket.
