"This book is a thorough reflection on a rather new and influential genre in scientifically founded literature with real political impact: so-called scenario books. The author of this book is Ulf Hannerz, an internationally renown anthropologist from Sweden. ... Hannerz produced an important book, which give us a window for critical analysis of a vague and often 'covered' genre with scientific presences in the circuits of opinion making, which however penetrates ... in the highest levels of world power."
