The folly of experts is legend, but people are forced into situations where they turn to experts even when they know better, due to complexity, time crunch, etc. I'd like to suggest my book on some of these matters. Titled "Future Savvy," it is a (lay) guide to critically evaluating predictions. (Too often people give up on predictions entirely.) Anyway, the book is out this month (Sept 08) and my publisher, Amacom Press, will send a free copy to anyone who will legitimately review it or comment on it - in a blog for example. Generally I like this Y&NY blog a lot, by the way. Thoughtful stuff. And great page design. - Adam Yes, exactly right.
