"A beautiful and stirring meditation on how we might rediscover our belief in the future, in spite of our hopeless times."
William Davies, author of Nervous States: How Feeling Took Over the World

"I never got the memo that acting smart was about making people feel paralysed. I was only ever in it to spark some hope. It's nice to have a buddy - gives me hope - and I ... hope this lovely little book will be your buddy too. I really hope. The real thing. The antidote, the genuinely future future."
Timothy Morton, author of Hell: In Search of a Christian Ecology

Joshua Rothman, The New Yorker
