We humans are an impatient species, and instead of just waiting around we constantly try to peek into the future. The result of these attempts has been, shall we say, less than perfect. As the title says, this book is a collection of 100 failed predictions, uttered by high and low and about everything between heaven and earth. Here the reader will learn how bright Iraq's future was in 1977, how little chance the iPhone would stand on the world market, how hundreds of millions would starve to death in the 1980s, how a certain Usama bin Laden was on the road to peace, how Communism would triumph, of how loyal American colonists were in the 1770s, and how the world would end on the 21st of March 1844.

I predict you will enjoy the read. But I do not predict you will learn anything. For as this book show, we humans never learn.
