Abstract
The story of this book has been about the present and the past. It has also been about the gulf between what we have called (in the conventional and convenient but perhaps over-simplifying shorthand) ‘The Two Cultures’. I should like to end with a brief glimpse into the future and to speculate about an increasing convergence between the ‘useful’ sciences and the ‘useless’ arts.
