Futureways
"Futureways is a faux science fiction novel that dares to reinvent the future. The story of an art exhibition in the distant future, the book posits an otherworldly community of alien shape-shifters, robotic administrators, and demon-conjuring Magi who inhabit spaceports, otherworldly archeological sites, gated utopias, courthouses, and bars. This beguiling 'novel' features chapters written by different contributors - including artists, critics, curators, museum directors, journalists, and writers - all of whom create fantastical landscapes that simultaneously work within and outside the convention of science fiction. At its heart, it depicts the 'tangible marvels' of the imagination, and the role of the artist as time-traveler, forward-thinking yet never forgetting the past."--Page 4 of cover
