"Usborne Book of the Future Returns in Print"
The Usborne Book of the Future, a children's book from the late 70s filled with predictions about the 21st century, has been reissued in the UK. The book features hand-illustrated predictions about space exploration, computer technology, robotics, and civics. While some predictions, such as vertical cities and space colonies, have not come to fruition, the book remains a fascinating artifact of a more optimistic era.
