I re-read it a few times already, and even though written in the 50s it holds up quite well (except for the total absence of computers). Its a brilliant read. Edit: to clarify, I meant the societal trends he projected are quite fascinating. Also the transition to a post scarcity society. It’s not very prophetic obviously. :)
