Reviews

This book is a treasure trove—a constellation of brilliant thinkers conjure up images and ideas, myths and media, to summon worlds that were, that are, and that have yet to come. * Anna Greenspan, Associate Professor of Global Contemporary Media at NYU Shanghai, China * Future’s Theory comes as a series of signals from the future, cast back into the chaos of the present. This episodic catalogue uncovers a fascinating futurist milieux, where chimeras and oracles and the orobouros return in forms of machinic thoughts and unforeseen powers and haunt the virtual. Here we have the guidelines for some secret mechanics, revealed through concise stories for cyborgs and posthumans. Future’s Theory initiates a new series of speculative and projective theories, uncoiling from discrete prescient reports of curious events that activate a new sense of wonder from the future. * Thomas Mical, Director of the Esoteric Library of the Kangra Valley, India *

Using futurity as a theoretical laboratory, these thinkers invite us to reconsider our relationship to the past, and to envision the perilous enchantment of what lies ahead. * Javier Padilla, Assistant Professor of English at Colgate University, USA *
