The Classic Futurology Book holds various articles on the classical forecasts of what the future will be like, and should consist of relatively few scenarios.

Articles in this Book may be at times contradictory, as membership in this book means that there are relatively few points of divergence in the article, not that the article's contents fit in the "Classic Archscenario".
