      abstract = {In this volume, the authors contribute to futures research  by placing the counterfactual question in the future tense.  They explore the possible outcomes of future, and consider  how future decisions are turning points that may produce  different global outcomes. This book focuses on a dozen or  so intractable issues that span politics, religion, and  technology, each addressed in individual chapters. Until  now, most scenarios written by futurists have been built on  cause and effect narratives or depended on numerical models  derived from historical relationships. In contrast, many of  the scenarios written for this book are point descriptions  of future discontinuities, a form allows more  thought-provoking presentations. Ultimately, this book  demonstrates that counterfactual thinking and point  scenarios of discontinuities are new, groundbreaking tools  for futurists.--},
