Politico Magazine asked 15 other big thinkers and doers for their ideas of what will change the world the most in the next 15 years. We got back lots of inspiration—from the transformative power of opening up national borders to the commercialization of the human genome—and one dyspeptic dissenter. Read on, for a sense of the possible in the world of 2030.

Would you agree with their predictions? What would surveillance be like in 2030? Would we have any freedoms at all, any privacy?

    In 2030, someone will ask the crowd on Soylent "What will life be like in 2045?"

    And yet again, many of the main trends of the future will be missed, but the answers will be a wonderful compilation of the fears, neuroses, and prejudices of 2030 techno-geeks.
