A Short History of the Future: Surviving the 2030 Spike Book

Colin Mason was an Australian (NSW) Senator and was always a statesman with an excellent mind. The amount of research that he has carried out to write this book is amazing and it should be read by everyone who has an interest in where this world is heading (all Parents?, all GrandParents?).

Colin looks at the serious issues facing this world and mankind and how they are lining up to spike together in the 2030 decade. It could be a very depressing book ...except for the suggestions that are made to overcome these issues and to create a brighter future. We could have a beautiful vision for our children's future or we could just close our eyes and await the calamity that will result from inaction.

The depressing part is outside of the book - the reality is that few people will take the time / effort to read it and most of our business leaders and most of our politicians (all around the world) are too self-centred, too greedy and too ignorant to take an interest. Lack of vision abounds in reality.

Colin Mason's vision, by contrast, is boundless.

I cannot recommend this book highly enough. PLEASE read it and talk about it.
