The first truly good book on the subject of computer security. 35 years later, much of it is spookily still relevant.

Martin points out many interesting trends, and future scenarios. However, he is also overly optimistic (to say Pollyanna-ish would almost be an under-exaggeration). He nearly waxes poetic over how 'transhumans' will be created with physical and, more importantly, neural, nanobots -- while ignoring (until a blip at the very end) the serious, and all too real, 'nanobot-divide' that will ensue. The upshot seems to be that while the haves and the have-nots are currently severely divided (thousands of miles apart ,so to speak), in the future it seems clear that they will be thousands of light-years apart. This is not a good thing. The only force mitigating this result is the positive good-will of the haves to help and share, which Martin seems sincerely convinced of. As I say, Pollyanna-ish is too kind.
That said, I did really enjoy the parts of the book that didn't gall me.

A pretty good combination of a doom warning (enumerating unsustainable world practices and trends, etc) à la Martin Rees's _Our Final Century_ and a golden-future paean à la Ray Kurzweil's _The Singularity is Near_. He conjectures that developments in such areas as transhumanism, near mid-century, could make the difference between the pessimistic and the optimistic scenarios. Somewhat marred by a much-too-benign view of religion and the nutty naming of Estonia as one of the world's poorest countries. (I think he must have meant to say Eritrea or Ethiopia.)… (mere)
