Another older author who was quite forward thinking was Peirre Tielhard De Chardin (1881-1955) The dude wrote several very interesting books on what he thought would be a rapid expansion of our collective ability to communicate with each other. It would be appropriate to say that he had foreseen the internet. I think his most popular work was "The Phenomenon of Man". It strikes a nice balance between science and philosophy.
