Forecast Science Fiction E-zine</A>

This is a collection of some of Hugo Gernsback's annual forecasting efforts
from the early 1950s to the mid-1960s. His essays make fascinating reading,
both for what he got right (nearly everything about video and media) to what
he got wrong (nuclear power, for instance).
