The Odyssey of the Future: The Ultimate Adventure was completed in 1997 and is only now finally available in published form. Created as a textbook for a college-level introductory course on the future, the book provides a comprehensive and integrative overview of all the major dimensions of future human reality, including science, technology, ecology, education, society, psychology, culture, and religion. Inspired, visionary, thoroughly researched, and philosophical in scope, the book was my first substantial futurist writing, marking the beginning of a twenty-five year career in futures studies.
