The future isn’t what it used to be - The Practical Futurist - MSNBC.com: "excellent new book “Follies of Science: 20th Century Visions of Our Fantastic Future” (Speck Press, $19) is a lavish visual compendium of art work, advertisements, cartoons, magazine covers and government documents, all depicting just how wonderful, or occasionally terrifying, the future will be. Virtually all of the visions, of course, are also dead wrong. "
Love reading things like these! Even better if someone's done the actual research and can back up their claims about quotes and predictions, and it's not just folklore or urban legend. May have to go pick this up.
