Article in 75 anniversary issue VN (Vrij Nederland) on the future

Yesterday 9 September I was nr 4 to give a view on the future in 75 years, together with 75 innovators (all big names!, I feel honoured).

Everybody knows you should only give predictions for the time after you are dead because that way nobody can laugh at you anymore. So, I dared it (in Dutch). Vrij Nederland is a public opinion magazine in the Netherlands and came into existence as a secret ‘Liberate Netherlands’ newspaper during the second world war.  Michiel Hulshof wrote the article, I read a lot of his work and I think he is a really good science journalist.
