An exploration of potential tomorrows from the host of the massively popular and critically acclaimed podcast Flash ForwardFlash Forward: An Illustrated Guide to Possible (And Not So Possible) Tomorrows takes readers on a journey from speculative fiction to speculative "fact. " Producer and host of the podcast Flash Forward, Rose Eveleth poses provocative questions about our future, which are brought to life by 12 of the most imaginative comics and graphic artists at work, including Matt Lubchanksy, Sophie Goldstein, Ben Passmore, and Box Brown. Each artist chooses a subject close to their heart-Ignatz Award nominee Julia Gfroerer, for instance, will imagine a future in which robots make art-and presents their chosen future in their own style. Drawing on her interviews with experts in various fields of study, Eveleth will then report on what is complete fantasy and what is only just out of reach in insightful essays following the comics. This book introduces compelling visions of the future and vividly explores the human consequences of developing technologies. Flash Forward reveals how complicated, messy, incredible, frightening, and strange our future might be.
"Flash Forward has leapt from podcast to page, and it' s a brain-expanding joy to read. Packed with bizarre future scenarios that are often all too plausible, this book is a lesson in how to prepare for tomorrow by opening your mind. Funny, wise, and seriously weird, Flash Forward is a must-have for anyone who hopes to change the future. "--Annalee Newitz "author of Autonomous and Four Lost Cities: A Secret History of the Urban Age" "Flash Forward is an essential work of imagination and journalism, as only Rose Eveleth could have created. Eye-opening and thought-provoking, it' s a powerful reminder, at this crucial moment in time, that the future is still ours to envision, through neither naive optimism nor cynical nihilism, but instead a respect for history and a commitment to justice. "--Ed Yong "award-winning Atlantic journalist and author of I Contain Multitudes" "I' ve always been a fan of Rose Eveleth' s podcast, but this marriage of ideas, ethics, and imagery is next level! Every chapter is its own universe, and moving from one to the next is the best kind of visual and intellectual whiplash. Flash Forward is the book we need right now, a lesson in how to imagine and then create a more just future. " --Jad Abumrad "founder and co-host of Radiolab"
