In the LIFT08 opening keynote, science fiction writer Bruce Sterling looked in his rear mirror to see the near future, and predicts a boring 2008.

I wanted to summarize what I got back from lift so wrote a blogpost knitting all the foresights together of all tracks into one overview.

The event was great and I need some time to digest everything. I really feel I had an energy boost for changing the world :)
