Arguing that ancient commonplaces about a ?greener?, more egalitarian, post-Taylorist future rely on ignoring real-time observations of real people in context, Jemielniak?s portrait of the knowledge society of the 21st century shows it to be more like the Fordist society of the 20th century than the utopia so many futurists choose to imagine. His book tells us it is time to begin observing again if we wish to ?know? rather than ?believe? what the future holds for us.? ? Davydd J.
