Description

Explore the fascinating history of human prediction with Yesterday's Tomorrows: A Historical Survey of Future Societies. Originally published in 1968, this Routledge Revival offers a deep look into how humans have always attempted to forecast what lies ahead. This book examines how our predictions act as a mirror, reflecting our personal desires, fears, and social projections. Through this survey, you will see how imagined countries and mirror worlds, such as those found in the works of Rabelais or Butler, serve as expressions of human thought. The text also investigates how predictions can stem from panic rather than hope, looking at how technological fears often manifest as stories of invasions or flying saucers. This historical perspective provides a unique way to understand the connection between human psychology and the way we envision our future societies.
