. . We have entered a period of extreme change. I see two major
possibilities: either a disastrous atomic war which will destroy for a
long time the present technological structure, followed by a renaissance,
the nature of which I am unable to predict, or a period of peace in which
technical progress will be so enormously accelerated that only short range
predictions can hope to be reasonably accurate.
