In The Next 100 Years, George Friedman offers a lucid, highly readable forecast of the changes we can expect around the world during the twenty-first century. He explains where and why future wars will erupt (and how they will be fought), which nations will gain and lose economic and political power, and how new technologies and cultural trends will alter the way we live in the new century.

Drawing on history and geopolitical patterns dating back hundreds of years, Friedman shows that we are now, for the first time in half a millennium, at the dawn of a new era - with changes in store, including:
  • The US-Jihadist war will conclude - replaced by a second full-blown cold war with Russia.
  • China will undergo a major extended internal crisis, and Mexico will emerge as an important world power.
  • A new global war will unfold toward the middle of the century between the United States and an unexpected coalition from Eastern Europe, Eurasia and the Far East; but armies will be much smaller and wars will be less deadly.
  • Technology will focus on space - both for major military uses and for a dramatic new energy resource that will have radical environmental implications.
Written with the keen insight and thoughtful analysis that has made George Friedman a renowned expert in geopolitics and forecasting, The Next 100 Years presents a fascinating picture of what lies ahead.

Industry Reviews
'Predictions have made George Friedman a hot property these days.' – The Wall Street Journal

'Fascinating because of its dismissal of the conventional wisdom.' - New York Post

'Mr Friedman's work warrants the investment of an evening of careful reading.' - Washington Times

'This is a book about unintended consequences and how the constraints of time and place impact the behavior of individuals and nations and offer a view of future events... This is an excellent book...' - Mary Whaley, Booklist

'Whether all of the visions in Friedman's crystal ball actually materialize, they certainly make for engrossing entertainment.' - Publishers Weekly

'Friedman is well aware that much of what he predicts will be wrong - unforeseeable events are, of course, unforeseen - but through his interpretation of geopolitics, one gets the sense that Friedman's guess is better than most.' - Jon Foro, Amazon
