Summary: Kipfer/Strnad are mind readers.
Review: I was recently sitting around with my wife and predicting what the Millenium will bring. She's an optimist, I'm a pessimist. Now imagine my face when I bought a book and saw in its pages not only both of those opposing views represented, but many many more. And they're all screamingly funny (at least the pessimistic ones!) I've read two books by Ed Strnad -- the other one was Growing Old Sucks -- so it's easy to guess which author was the optimist and which the pessimist. I suppose Barbara Kipfer and Strnad actually represent what we all really think. She reflects the hopes and dreams and aspirations we cling to about the future. He squirts seltzer in our faces and tells us what will *really* happen. And with a unique and razor-sharp sense of humor. As we approach the Millenium, I recommend this book for anyone planning to be around in the year 2000 and beyond.

Summary: Funny but frighteningly accurate!
Review: Someone should tell Art Bell about this book! I know it's supposed to be a humor book and it was published in 1996, but so many of its predictions are coming true it's downright scary! I've tossed my Nostradamus books in favor of "THE OPTIMIST'S/PESSIMIST'S GUIDE." I predict you will too!
