David Rejeski, director of the Wilson Center’s Foresight and Governance Project, and Robert L. Olson, senior fellow at the Institute for Alternative Futures, have written an article in the Winter 2006 "Reading the Future" issue of The Wilson Quarterly .

From the article:

"The effort to think systematically about the future began little more than a half-century ago, and the results so far have not been impressive. Todays futurists hope that more sophisticated methods will allow them to provide a better picture of what tomorrow may bring."
