ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The authors are indebted to countless people for the ideas and encouragement that have made this book possible. Most of those who reviewed the manuscript felt that these enormous changes in man and his environment might happen in 1,000 years but not in the next century as we suggest. The authors, however, have wondered whether the future society they describe may be partially in existence by the time the book is published. We see so many of our predictions of things to come being discussed, developed and tried that we suspect we have been too conservative in estimating the time. The following kind friends have read the manuscript and offered excellent suggestions—some of which were used: Anne Ammirati, John Bethea, Louise Boches, Janice Burr, Charles Kimball, Shirley Lewis, William A. McCall, Gretchen McCall, Graham Miller, Joe Prospero, Charles Ray, Christie Ray, Arden Richards, Velma Richards, Marjofie Sherrill, and Anitra Thor- haug. We are indebted to Herbert Wallach, Jr., for suggesting our title—Looking Forward. Bonita Bennett listened to these "far-out" ideas, typed them studiously, and still had the stamina to assist greatly in editing and revising. Shirley Rosichan offered many excellent editorial suggestions. Others who helped with various phases of the work were Marty Costello, Karen Brandt, and Stephanie Brovold. Frank Seldon and Carl Green tirelessly assisted in reproducing copies of the manuscript. Also thanks to Iván García who helped digitalizing the paperbook trough OCR. Our thanks are also due to the authors and publishers who have kindly given permission to quote from their works.
