REVIEWS
- Ever wonder what will happen to Greece in the
future? The scenarios you can think of are many, but how about reading
someone else’s predictions – even if it’s just for fun. In Greece, the Next
300 Years, (Cosmos publishing), Stephen Tzikas provides a comprehensive look
at what we can expect Greece and the world to be like over the next 300 years.
He combines his technological background and career expertise, his
experiences of living and traveling around the world, and his interests and
knowledge in Greek history and politics to predict the social and political
possibilities of the future.
Tzikas explores a variety of possible scenarios, including how our economies may be revolutionized in the near future; how democracy may come under threat by technology, even in the United States; how Marxism may challenge the world capitalist system; how Greece’s relations with her neighbors and the world could be played out; how the Greek Orthodox Church may change its perspective; how the military could change warfare of the future; how contact with extraterrestrial life could doom man; and how a natural or nuclear disaster could devastate our planet.
This book speculates about the future of Greece and the world and what can be done to maximize peace, prosperity, and well being. Tzikas seems to believe that Greece is in a fortunate position to succeed in the future. He focuses on the image of a modern world which is dominated by the West, and which in essence, has Hellenic roots. Tzikas argues that the world is Hellenized, the Greek presence is everywhere. He even believes that what some people call the cultural influence of the United States is in fact a reflection of the cultural influence of Greece. An interesting read, if taken from a “theoretical” point of view.

- The author has lived and traveled extensively
throughout the world, but in his heart he has a special place for Greece, a
country where he has lived and for which he has considerable knowledge of its
history. In a sweeping and global style, Tzikas ponders where the major world
powers are at in terms of present social, economic, scientific, and political
events and predicts the possibilities for future developments - say a possible
300 years from now!
While some of these discussions of possible future events are what might be called fairly typical and deductive in logic and reason, there are others in this book that are more imaginative and might be considered more “out there,” and therefore perhaps of greater interest to AP readers. For example, Tzikas writes about the possibility and possible consequences of extraterrestrial contact in the future, reviews the current phenomenon of UFOs and so-called alien abductions, and even the possible future directions of such movements as Kirlian photography, research into orgone energy, paranormal phenomena, and Sheldrake’s morphic resonance.
As to why the emphasis on Greece from a book that explores the global perspective and consequences of social, scientific, economic, and political movements, Tzikas points out that Greece has a presence in the world that is to be felt everywhere, and can be seen in its influence on medicine, astronomy, physics, logic, science, mathematics, philosophy, music, education, law, etc. Although the world is at present dominated by the West, Tzikas argues that it’s roots are Greek in origin.
