Difficult to categorise this one. It depends on what you believe, and how much you're willing to suspend your disbelief. I don't doubt the author / translator's sincerity, but you could drive a coach and horses through many of these predictions because they're so vague - deliberately so. The author does get points for a well-laid-out book. Just shy of 500pp of microscopic print made it quite a read for me at the time.
