What trends will influence technology, politics and the arts in the new year? There's no shortage of prognosticators pointing to the "next big thing". But many forecasts reveal more about our current attitude toward change and the unknown. We explore the complex terrain of "futurology".

Daniel H. Wilson, Contributing Editor, Popular Mechanics; Author, "How to Survive a Robot Uprising" (Bloomsbury), and the forthcoming "Where's My Jetpack?: A Guide to the Amazing Science Fiction Future that Never Arrived" (Bloomsbury)

From genetically modified foods to fair-trade coffee, today's supermarket aisle is political. But people have been obsessed with food for hundreds of years. We look at the "history of the future of food" and why our thinking about food may say more about us than we realize.
Warren Belasco, Professor of American Studies, University of Maryland, Baltimore County; and author "Meals to Come: A History of the Future of Food" (Univ. of California)
