Über diesen Titel

AS THE WORLD SWIRLS IN MILITARY CONFLICT, SOCIAL DISORDER AND CLIMATE CATASTROPHE, GOVERNMENT LEADERS RECRUIT SUPER-FORECASTERS - THEIR NATION'S MOST NON-BIASED CITIZENS - TO PREDICT EVENTS AND PROPOSE POLICY PRESCRIPTIONS...

From 2012 to 2028, this raucous globe-spinning romp considers prospects and pitfalls for three countries crucial to the electric age. China, the USA and Australia compete, cooperate and mark their success with a common scoring system - The Bowman Standard - to determine new spheres of power.

Super-forecasters examine events across political, economics, culture, security and the environment, to maximise Bowman Standard scores, at the behest of the world's most influential advisors: Mr Wang, a Chinese Communist Party apparatchik with a demanding boss, Tiffany St. James, a do-gooding American heiress, and Hope Peterman, a management consultant briefed to preserve the wealth of her client, an elite cabal secretly ruling Australia.

Factual and funny, this book will appeal to listeners who like a broad perspective on recent history, current affairs and our near future.

More than once, I found myself wondering if "The Bowman Standard" as described in this novel could exist. It's role, in the book, is to serve as a ranking system, by which to track the rise and fall of the global powers, in their fight for hegemony throughout this story. While many would probably take issue with the realism of the scenario which unfolds in this story, it is certainly both brazen and thought-provoking. And given the world events of the last couple of years, who is to say what might happen by the end of the decade. While perhaps a tad too info-dumpy for some, it is also quite humerous and vidid in it's description of places and characters. I was personally entertained, and I think readers will come away with appreciation of the field of geopolitics and all the different factors that could go into policies of a nation. And, I suspect that is in part what the author set out to accomplish.

Geopolitics made fun
