I haven't finished reading yet, but some of the ideas presented are so prescient I thought it was fake at first— I got a chuckle out of the "large-screen, high-definition Picturephone-Plus". With the exception of the end of timezones (people like being awake during the day), a lot of the big ideas Clarke mentions have already come to pass or conceivably could in the near future.
