Don't Call Yourself a Futurist if You Can't Predict the Invention of Non-Binary People

This was fairly good and astoundingly prescient: at one point he even predicts the invention of new genders, at another, he muses on the possibility that our behaviors could be tracked by technology then scoffs at himself because he doesn't think it would be technologically feasible. Oh Toffler! My only criticism is that his writing seems to imply that colonialism and industrialisation are somehow inevitable and signs of progress? Yikes.
