| Annotation | The two scenarios set in 1984 are an environmental eutopia and, briefly, the dystopia that will be produced by following current policies. The eutopia has strict pollution controls; hydrogen power; a falling birth rate; many people working from home; and lots of two-story apartment building complexes appealing to different constituencies such as the elderly, families, and singles. Taxes within cities are assessed on what the land would be worth if developed so there is no rundown commercial property. |
