The future is not a fixed idea but a highly variable one that reflects the values of those who are imagining it. By studying the ways that visionaries imagined the future-particularly that of America-in the past century, much can be learned about the cultural dynamics of the time. In this social history, Lawrence R. Samuel examines the future visions of intellectuals, artists, scientists, businesspeople, and others to tell a chronological story about the history of the future in the past century. He defines six separate eras of future narratives from 1920 to the present day, and argues that the milestones reached during these years-especially related to air and space travel, atomic and nuclear weapons, the women's and civil rights movements, and the advent of biological and genetic engineering-sparked the possibilities of tomorrow in the public's imagination, and helped make the twentieth century the first century to be significantly more about the future than the past. The idea of the future grew both in volume and importance as it rode the technological wave into the new millennium, and the author tracks the process by which most people, to some degree, have now become futurists as the need to anticipate tomorrow accelerates.
Explores the political, social and economic forces that are shaping what America and the world will become in ensuing decades. From demographics to democracy, this title explores what the author calls the 'Drivers of Global Change', framing the international conversation about the future in provocative ways.
Tommi Musturi's Future traps the reader into a web of stories happening in different time spaces, providing perspectives on the possible futures of mankind through imaginary future worlds, current events, historical references, utopias, and ideals. Future is a mash-up of the familiar and the terribly alien: quotidian existence, sci-fi spectacle, utopian fantasy, AI dystopia, and other worst-case scenarios. Richly philosophical and allegorical, Musturi chronicles alcoholic magicians, guerrilla art squads, mutant reality television hosts, and incel archaeologist-astronauts, among many others. Weaving between a variety of styles in illustration and narration that transform and reflect our constantly changing reality, Future is an impassioned graphic novel for our times that renews the medium of comics - a vital and multifaceted work of art. Known as a stylistic chameleon who often deals with existential themes that twirl around the ideal of "freedom," Musturi has crafted his masterpiece, an attention-grabbing, bravura showcase of a rich visual imagination with a deeply moral center.
Ryker Hamilton doesn't have grand plans. He's always been second best. Second thought, second in command, second place in everything. He's comfortable there. He's gotten used to his role. He doesn't need anything to change. He doesn't want anything to change. Taylor Wright is used to being in charge. As the oldest in her family, she was the one responsible when her father left them alone, and as the CEO of the company she created from the ground up, she's responsible for everything. Which is why whoever is after her company is after her. Taylor resists her brother's suggestion to hire independent security, but when someone breaks into her house, she accepts that she needs help. Accepting help from Ryker might mean surrendering more than just her schedule to someone else's control. It might mean surrendering her heart, too. But that's one piece of her that is not up for negotiation.

FUTURE kietoo lukijansa eri ajoissa tapahtuvien tarinoiden verkkoon, josta on ensihämmennyksen jälkeen hankala päästää irti.FUTURE kertoo ihmiskunnan erilaisista tulevaisuuksista. Tommi Musturi tarinoi paitsi tulevaisuutta kuvitellen ja nykyhetkestä ammentaen, myös erilaisten historiallisten viittausten, utopioiden sekä ideaalien kautta.FUTURE yhdistää jotain lukijalle tuttua johonkin täysin vieraaseen. Scifi-spektaakkeli päätyy avaruudessa päämäärättömästi leijailevaan muovipussiin ja tämän sisältä avaruutta tutkivaan parivaljakkoon; toisaalla lähitulevaisuudessa kaikki varallisuus ja valta on keskittynyt yhteen raunioituneen pariskunnan johtamaan yhtiöön; jossain aivan muualla lukija löytää itsensä sattumalta kadonneesta salaperäisestä kaupungista Centrasta; entä miten sieltä täältä esiin putkahtava tekoäly IDA liittyy tähän kaikkeen?FUTURE yllättää lukijansa myös piirrostyylein. Sarjan jokainen aikataso on toteutettu erilaisin kerronnan tavoin. Tyylien kirjo on osa kokonaisuutta ja kuljettaa lukijaa ihmiskunnan eri aikojen tunnelmiin. Kokonaisuus on poikkeuksellisesti ilmaisumuotoa uudistava sarjakuvateos - harvoin on sarjakuva ollut ilmaisultaan näin vitaali ja monitahoinen.Tommi Musturi (s. 1975) on kansainvälisesti tunnetuimpia suomalaisia sarjakuvantekijöitä. FUTURE-kirja julkaistaan yhtä aikaa seitsemässä eri maassa.
