What I love about this study of the future is how it doesn't actually discuss the future at all. You've got this sort of vague, meandering story, but without names or dates or places or any kind of identifying details, it might as well be taking place in fucking space. It has an equal chance of taking place on earth, or on some far flung deepstar colony way out in some other life form's civilization: "Oh, a politician who brokers impossible peace treaties and puts us on a moneyless economy? Gee, that sounds so similar to Spargnax of Nylar 4!"
If you're going to talk future predictions, at least have the decency to predict something and not just mumble portentous bullshit. Show some fucking spine and give us a prediction that's actually confirmable, rather than stuff you can later spin to fit any possible future, or none at all if we die without it happening. It's all so very convenient, that this book of prophecy contains no prophecies until after the event in question has happened.
