Omni's Prophecy Quiz

Robert Weil & Peter Tyson

First published September 1986
Type Essay

The Prophecy Quiz on pages 16 to 30 has 50 multiple-choice questions. As they are asking about potential future events none of the questions have a "right" or "wrong" answer. For example, question 47 is "What would a 21st century man say is the single greatest invention or discovery of the 20th century?<br> a. computer<br> b. theory of relativity<br> c. polio vaccine <br> d. splitting the atom<br> e. television<br> f. satellite<br> g. automobile (late 1800s)<br> <br> It's not clear if this quiz had been published in an issue of the Omni Magazine or if <i>The Omni Book of High-Tech Society 2000</i> was the first publication.
