Chinese EVs are going to play a big role in motoring in the near-future
Whilst fictional, this book presents the most plausible account I’ve read of possible events leading to a war between the USA & China. The role of India as peacemaker and ultimate beneficiary seems particularly prescient:

2034: A Novel of the Next World War by Elliot Ackerman and James G. Stavridis
A thread of some of my favourite Futurist quotes:

"“We have no future because our present is too volatile. We have only risk management. The spinning of the given moment's scenarios. Pattern recognition.” ― William Gibson, Pattern Recognition (which I really liked, even it if lacked a resolution)

When did we get a Futurist channel? I've been a Futurist keynote speaker since 2011. Excited to follow the channel and meet otheres here interested in futurism!
Two more canonical Futurist texts, frequently cited in crypto, include:

Howe, N., and Strauss, W. (1992). 'Generations: The History of America's Future, 1584 to 2069'.

Howe, N., and Strauss, W. (2019). 'The Fourth Turning: What the Cycles of History Tell Us About America's Next Rendezvous with Destiny'.

Another title I somehow neglected to mention:

This is one the most commonly cited texts and a personal favourite for Futurists in crypto like myself
