Description

Explore the human fascination with forecasting the future in Yesterday's Tomorrows: A Historical Survey of Future Societies. Originally published in 1968, this Routledge Revival examines how predictions serve as mirrors for human desires, fears, and evasions. This historical survey looks at various forms of speculation, from the creation of imaginary mirror worlds like those found in the works of Rabelais and Butler to the technological era's focus on extraterrestrial invasions and flying saucers. It provides a deep look into how societies project their hopes and anxieties through the lens of what is to come. This book is an essential read for those interested in the history of social thought and the evolution of human imagination.

Key Features

This Routledge Revival edition presents the original 1968 text regarding the history of human forecasting.

The book examines how predictions reflect human wish-fulfillment, projections, and denials.

It explores imaginary mirror worlds such as Rabelais' Ever-Ever lands and Butler's Erewhon.

The text analyzes how technological age fears manifest as reports of flying saucers and alien invasions.

This historical survey provides a unique look at how man uses the concept of the future to mirror his own psyche.
