We invite you to order it online: this “report card on the future” distills the collective intelligence of over 2,700 leading scientists, futurists, scholars, and policy advisors who work for governments, corporations, non-governmental organizations, universities, and international organizations. The 2010 State of the Future comes in two parts: a 83-page print executive summary and an attached CD containing about 7,000 pages of research behind the print edition and the Millennium Project's 14 years of cumulative research and methods.

During the Millennium Project Nodes session "Futurists views from around the world" at the World Future Society Conference, Philippe Destatte has presented "The bifurcations and alternatives: a new method used in order to build foresight strategies".
