Dear WSN'ers:
The University of Chicago Press has agreed to bring out a third
edition of my A SHORT HISTORY OF THE FUTURE, to apppear in the summer of
1999 and take advantage of pre-millennial fever. A SHORT HISTORY has the
strange distinction of being the world's only world-systems novel.
I will not have a chance to make any extensive or fundamental
changes in the text, but I can rewrite a few lines here and there,
especially in the near-future segment, "Earth, Inc." Some near-future
"facts" and "dates" will obviously need work, although I'm not sure that I
have to rewrite the Pakistani-Indian nuclear war of 2000!
If you have any suggestions for changes and revisions, I would
very much welcome them. Here's your chance to help rewrite future
history!
Thanks.
Warren Wagar
