Hi Dave,

I do a bit of consulting work within the telecom industry to pay for my 
glorious comedy career, and one of my clients is interested in sitting 
down with a few "futurists" to discuss with them their vision of the 
future for US consumers looking out about 10 years.

This person should have a focus on consumer issues, a sensitivity to 
(but not necessarily expertise) technology and, preferably, not be 
totally off the wall (though a few of those are welcome). I don't have 
any references for futurists other than Google and would like to get to 
a bit more quality-controlled list. I figured IP was a good first stop.

Examples include Jim Carroll and Faith Popcorn, but there must be more 
who are reputable.

IP readers can contact me at this email address.

Thanks!
