In 1967 Kahn also wrote a cook called "The year 2000", he got a lot right
but it's more fun to see what he got wrong. He said by the year 2000 we'd
have 3D movies and television, household robots, undersea colonies, a
permanent installation on the moon, "artificial moons lighting large areas
at night" and something he called "programmed dreams". Also, the idea that
the Soviet Union might collapse doesn't seem to have occurred to him.
