Written in 1977, it imagines what it would be like to be a police officer in 2000. Of course, looking back from 2025, we see he wasnt very accurate on most things. No hovercars, no alarm wristbands to call the cops to your aid, and the biggest miss, that in the future they would have gotten rid of money to reduce crime. Everyone had the Universal Credit Card, that only they could use by thumbprint, so it got rid of theft, armed robbery, and most assault.
