I particularly welcome hearing from people who want to re-edit this guide and then use it in open dialogues. Why might this first flight through future history genres of the second half of the 20th Century be relevant today. Well, Entrepreneurial Revolution roundtables have now been happening for 30 years, an early outing being in 1976 when Romano Prodi (who later became President of the European Union when it first started huge investments of public minies in Km and Ksociety) hosted events with business leaders across Italy. Today, death of distance is one of the revolutionary reconstructs American leaders have been revisiting in identifying such new space races as those announced by President Bush in Jan 2006: 1) End our addiction to petroleum economics and 2) empower our kids to love learning science as much as they do sports.

Future History Scripts associated with 1 and 2 originated with my father Norman Macrae’s work over 4 decades of Century 20 at The Economist. We are delighted to see them used for any open dialogues about the future and co-creating a world which sustains humanity and innovates value multiplication through learning and transparency of networks.
1 ER Entrepreneurial Revolution
Notes:
2006 marks the 30th birthday parties of my father Norman Macrae’s publication of Entrepreneurial Revolution as a 1976 survey in The Economist. It generated widespread interest in innovative leadership- eg Romano Prodi translated it into Italian and hosted a roundtable among leading industrialists of the day. It soon became part of a trilogy: 1982 was published in The Economist as We’re all Intrapreneurial Now ( debating how the service economy required a transformation in organisations from machine-age command and control to supporting service teams- those who best practiced Intrapreneurial now have returned up to 100 times investors stakes over a generation but only by multiplying even more value across society and by enabling service workers to enjoy a lifetime of making a difference http://value100.blogspot.com )
preneurial originated in 19th century France and concerns what assets society peacefully needs to take back because they are not being used productively or are blocking widespread
preneurial can be used to frame debates on how to change economics so that it always fairly represents the peoples interests transparently and is not manipulated by vested interests or to make big power bigger. For example, the 19th C founder of The Economist was concerned with 2 goals : repealing the corn laws and ending capital punishment (after which social reforms he expected the paper to be closed). Since this global viewspaper did not close, it has the responsibility to open up peoples economics and help all people debate what exponentials will compound around each new future history revolution - more notes at

2 DoD Death of Distance
(Networking’s Revolutions systemising human relations of productivities and demand such as the last quarter century's chnage overs to service economy, post-industrial, global village nets)
Published in 5 languages 1984, this can be regarded as the 3rd part in the preneurial trilogy and was co-authored by Norman and Chris Macrae. We posited that networks would be the most urgent revolution to impact a single generation of mankind – that of 1984-2024 because they involved transport, telecommunications and cultural learning revolutions all in one. Another way of putting this is that networking connectivity is a higher order system whose governance and practices cannot be professionalized by thinking within the current system. Writings of both Einstein and Buckminster Fuller, as well as Orwell to whom our 1984 book was also inspired by, confirm that globalisation’s integration of societies at every locality can only compound exponential goodwill or exponentially badwill, which by 2024 will be spinning an unturnable trajectory. We collated various preneurial scripts with the added help of a science fiction writer and doctor of biology who did not want to be named. These included photosynthesis as the clean energy revolution of 2000-2025; taking back sufficient public media to connect with the internet both to make extreme poverty history and to start smartening up learning media instead of the dumbing down that excessive commercial media became; going beyond national governments both to network exchanges between 2 million global villages and because in a networked world of waves the major risks need to be prevented interlocally (nature does not respect man’s top-down borders); multiplying value through open source collaborations wherever possible – both because learning multiplies in use unlike things that get consumed up, and because all the 20th Century’s greatest mathematicians foresaw collaboration as the way to sustain larger footprints and make
The 21st Century the most progressive in humanity’s history. They also foresaw that if we do not achieve this optimistic scenarios, the most likely outcome of networks as systems multiplying systems is the very reverse- end of most of our species before the end of the century
UPDATE
In Bush’s 2006 State of the Union, he launched 2 unexpected space races: end America’s addiction to petroleum economics and make sciences as fashionable for youth to study and be inspired by as sports. Interesting preneurial challenges the whole world can network round. It turns out that 20 business and society leaders were commissioned last fall to huddle round a revolutionary report Rising above the Gathering Strom openly downloadable www.nap.edu Its 2 main recommendations are Bush’s 2 main declared space races. One of the 2 co-chairs of this report specifically mentioned death of distance 5 times as the lens that helped his committee agree that revolution is called for . This also connects with America’s most popular current future Historian who has sold 1.3 million copies of The World is Flat. His 2 main clarion calls are : the world is flat, collaboration is the new competition wherever learning networks and green is the next red white and blue.
We suggest that people in any city may enjoy forming networks around such openly available scripts as:
Green or photosynthesis energy, where most of the inventions are open sourced
Web2.1 which appears to be the movement out of California which is retaking the net for all peoples
Making science fashionable is an open networking game
Understanding microfinance is a way to open source projects; finding any public media we can take back to help scale world service links to the net remains a primary script from 1984 http://www.normanmacrae.com/netfuture.html#Anchor-Changin-27687

3 Drucker
My father first met Drucker in 1935 Moscow. http://normanmacrae.blogspot.com They were both of an era that had seen how Hitler’s non-transparent power (achieved through the then newish medium of radio) caused untold destruction and could have been even worse. Their vocabularies may be slightly different (Drucker's most revolutionary constructs include knowledge worker and various terms to do with society and ecology as well as a constant reference to the value of ethics and common sense inquiries of what people need from leaders if they are all to work at making a great difference through lifetimes) but their future predictions and passionate concern that society should always keep opening up the next media stage before big power took it over seem identical to me. They also both believed that the 1984-2024 generation was going to face a series of paradigm shifts the like of which have not been experienced for hundreds of years if at all.
