Dated but fine
Some of the claims are quite ridiculous though.
Like the 2000 meltdown of the computerized world and the religion loss as a sign of the new age immorality.
This was rather alarmist and racist.
The main thing I got out of this is that if you are not already a millionaire, or a "superstar", then you're pretty much f*cked.
Much of the arguments presented seem sound. The disparity between the rich and poor will increase greatly and at a faster rate. The rich will leave high tax sovereign states in favor of low cost alternatives. This will leave the poor to finance government which the poor simply can not do so nation states will fail.
All in all, a very bleak read which may explain why it took me two and a half years to finish reading.
