Clarke rejects any label as prophet; as per \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eProfiles'\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e subtitle, he deals with \"limits of the possible.\" In July 20, 2019, he views a day in the life of the 21st century. The oversize, illustrated book forecasts how people are born, live, and die. We ride orbiting space stations, watch 60-year-old, 8-foot athletes, see that people have been replaced with computers and robots, view most aspects of life—schools, transportation, medicine, work, movies. These are astonishing but realistic perceptions by a master of the craft who as always writes with skill, wit, clarity, and remarkable intelligence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note this copy has some scuffs and wear on the edges of the covers.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"py-2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"py-2\"\u003eISBN: \u003cspan\u003e9780246129802\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"py-2\"\u003eSize : Hardcover, \u003cspan tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"Text Text__body3\"\u003e281 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003epages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"py-2\"\u003ePublisher: \u003cspan\u003eCorgi Books\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"py-2\"\u003eYear: 1987\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"B - Good Condition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47398557057180,"sku":null,"price":7.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0526\/1597\/0972\/files\/july20_2.jpg?v=1786673914","url":"https:\/\/booksforless.co.nz\/products\/july-20-2019-a-day-in-the-life-of-the-21st-century","provider":"Books For Less","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
