OUT NOW: the new book from the bestselling authors and hosts of the wildy popular 'The Skeptics Guide to the Universe'
__________
Our predictions of the future are a wild fantasy, inextricably linked to our present hopes and fears, biases and ignorance. Whether they be the outlandish leaps predicted in the 1920s, like multi-purpose utility belts with climate control capabilities and planes the size of luxury cruise ships, or the forecasts of the '60s, which didn't anticipate the sexual revolution or women's liberation, the path to the present is littered with failed predictions and incorrect estimations.
The best we can do is try to absorb from futurism's checkered past, perhaps learning to do a little better.
In The Skeptics' Guide To The Future, Steven Novella and his co-authors build upon the work of futurists of the past by examining what they got right, what they got wrong, and how they came to those conclusions. By exploring the pitfalls of each era, they give their own speculations about the distant future, transformed by unbelievable technology ranging from genetic manipulation to artificial intelligence and quantum computing. Applying their trademark skepticism, they carefully extrapolate upon each scientific development, leaving no stone unturned as they lay out a vision for the future of tomorrow.

Absolutely solid!
Color: Black, Style: Fixed Width
I wish they made a longer version, because it's kinda pricey to buy two... but I made it work with one
I wanted a metal one that I could screw on so I didn't have to worry about it ever again... ever. It's holding everything and doing a great job at it.

Got Some Work To Do!
Color: Black, Style: Adjustable Width
Inspired by a kitten, I endeavored to clean up behind my audio desk, where a maze of wires is the picture of confusion, but apparently also a wonderful place to pull and tug, nap and chew ... so I got this. Then it sat there for a week while I thought about it. Felt complicated, organizing that big wad of a mess of wires. But when I finally got to it, it wasn't too bad at all, and the difference is huge! This item fit under the back of the desk perfectly and provides a deep tray you can immediately start to run wires though. Eventually you'll get there! Good luck!

Solid and strong
Color: Black, Style: Fixed Width
It's strong enough to hold it's shape. I attached it with 2 screws, and was able to put 2 power strips inside.
It's a bit annoying to have the big "StarTech.COM" logo on the front, so I mounted it backwards, facing the wall. The whole point of a black tray is to hide things and blend in, not advertise for "StarTech"! So minus 1 star for that.
