		<description><![CDATA[A few weeks shy of his 65th birthday, the grandfather of three, Al Gore is free of the past and all about the future. More specifically, he’s all about The Future, his latest book. An attempt to sum up six key ­realities—he calls them drivers—that will shape the years ahead, Gore&#8217;s book touches every base: robots, deep-sea phosphorus, financial derivatives, even urine recycling and goats modified to secrete spider-silk proteins from their udders.

By their measure, he is now richer than the renowned super­capitalist Mitt Romney. Explaining his book during an interview with TIME, Gore begins with a simple premise: “One of the striking characteristics of our<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=swampland.time.com&#038;blog=5284847&#038;post=86092&#038;subd=timeswampland&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
