Description

Explore the history of futurology with The Future of the World by Jenny Andersson. Published by Oxford University Press, this book examines the field of futurism that emerged after World War Two. It tracks how researchers and scholars imagined the Cold War and post-Cold War eras, using various methods to influence the direction of the world. From nuclear scientists and journalists to peace activists and Cold War warriors, this work details the diverse group of people who shaped futurist thought. Andersson investigates the debate between those who viewed the future as a scientific sphere of delimited probabilities and those who saw it as an open realm. This is a deep look into the struggle for the post-Cold War imagination and the tools used to change the global landscape.
