A Short History of the Future Hardcover - 1989 - 1st Edition
by W. Warren Wagar
From the rear cover
In the tradition of H. G. Well's The Shape of Things to Come, W. Warren Wagar's A Short History of the Future is a memoir of postmodern times. Cast in the form of a history book, the narrative voice of the book's powerful vision is that of a far-future historian, Peter Jensen, who leaves this account of the world from the 1990's to the opening of the twenty-third century as a gift to his grand-daughter. A dazzling and imaginative combination of fiction and scholarship, Wagar's speculative history of the future alternates between descriptions of world events and intimate glimpses of his fictive historian's family through the ages.
