Description
After the Future explores a century-long obsession with the concept of the ""future,"" starting with Marinetti's ""Futurist Manifesto,"" tracing it through the punk movement of the early 70s, and into the media revolution of the 90s. The future, Bifo argues, has come and gone, the concept has lost its usefulness. Now it's our responsibility to decide what comes next.Tags

I had to read it for a class, and while I did not enjoy the middle sections of the book, it did make me think and it challenged some of my views.
