In three parts, Jameson presents the postmodern problem of Utopia, attempting to diagnose the cultural present and to open a perspective on the future of a world that is all but impossible to predict with any certainty -- a telling of the future, as Jameson calls it, with an imperfect deck.

"Jameson remains heedless of trendy appeals for politically minded academics to remake themselves as 'public intellectuals'.... The implicit subject of "The Seeds of Time" is timely indeed: our collective failure of historical imagination." -- "The Nation"
