The Third Millennium: A History of the World AD 2000-3000 by Brian Stableford and David Langford began as a Stableford work of futurology with a biological and sociological emphasis, to which Langford contributed chapters of related speculation about physics and technology. Stableford has since based a number of short stories (many collected as Sexual Chemistry) and a novel series on the theme of "emortality" life extension through gene engineering, which emerged as an important strand of this book.
