Book Reviews of Future Cities: Homes and Living into the 21st Century (World of the Future)
Book Review: Absolute classic
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember this from my childhood! It's full of great predictions about the future, about how we're all going to be living in bubbles on the moon by the year 2000, etc. Some of it was quite prescient, e.g. there's stuff about pollution, environmentalism, camcorders and satellite TV. Other stuff, like cylindrical space cities, was perhaps a bit overoptimistic. Today, it's a great retro read!
