The Next 100 Years by George Friedman

This is a fascinating book by a man I had never heard of but is apparently famous. Like most great non-fiction books, Friedman does not rely on little known or possibly dubious information, but simply takes what is generally known and draws conclusions from it. His main point is that the United States will dominate the next century even more than it did the last 50 years, and that the U.S. is still a "young" power coming into its prime. A fast and good read.
