Seymour W. Itzkoff majored in music and social sciences in his undergraduate studies at the University of Hartford. For a number of years, he was a professional cellist. His master's and doctoral degrees are in the philosophy of science and philosophy of education. He has published twenty-five books in various disciplines. His major teaching was at Smith College, from which he is emeritus after thirty-four years of teaching.
2284: World Society, Iaian Vernier's Memoir is a fascinating study of mankind. Written as a work of fiction, it looks at the human condition 200 years in the future. Predicting the outcome of today's social policies, 2284 is a cultural anthropology study that adds to Itzkoff's extensive writing on the topic. Iaian Vernier writes in 2284 of the revolutionary internationalism that has been established in Nairobi, Africa. He chronicles the disasters that almost destroyed the twenty-first-century world. He describes in anecdote and philosophical depth the new scientific and secular world that has been established to bring peace, equality, ethnic diversity and democracy to humanity, while scrutinizing the plans for demographic stability that will sustain humanity into the future. In the twenty-third century, the forbidden rationality of the scientific minds of the twenty-first century have been unleashed.
Written as a work of fiction, this book looks at the human condition 200 years in the future. Predicting the outcome of today's social policies, 2284: World Society, Iaian Vernier's Memoir is a cultural anthropology study that adds to Itzkoff's extensive writing on the topic.
