Abstract
- The author reflects on the way public health professionals predict the future of public health. Author H. G. Wells used the opportunities presented by possible futures to explore the impact of social development and scientific discoveries on humanity. Speculating about the future helps maintain emergency preparedness. Public health futurologists should make realistic speculations and must avoid being overly pessimistic in their views.
