Radical Evolution, Joel Garreau

Garreau discusses the projected future raising points relevant to what may sculpt Wellington 2040. I've scanned it to PDF but can't seem to upload it to the blog, any suggestions?

He proposes that during times of great technological advancement that cultural and societal adaptations become stagnant; they never coincide. Following a decade of technological advancements (much like what we have just recently had with the internet) he suggest a period of cultural and societal upheaval follows. Given we perhaps have two of these cycles before 2040, where may that place us? what may be the revolution or revolt following the internet, has it already been, and what may be the cultural reaction to the Nyx Network?

Perhaps too many questions but thats what this book has provoked, I suggest reading the introduction once I've uploaded it.
