I second your review of the "Future Perfect" book - it's great. My only disappointment is that it's a small format book with pictures across the gatefold. They deserve a better presentation.

But there's tons of great stuff in there. My favorite image is of a 50's housewife standing in her kitchen shopping over a 2-way TV - the internet! Outside the window in the background her child dashes in from a terrible rainstorm. Classic.

Here's some other good "retro-future" books:

These pics are just too cool, so I'm posting a few here:

Look! I'm shopping on the internet!

Mega-Flying-Gargantu-Boat. What could go wrong?

Hey, whatever happened to the in-home projection systems we were prom....oh, wait.

One sweet ride.

"Quick! I have get the car re-painted before my husband sees it! Let me see if I have enough change..."

And where are all the flying tanning beds we were promised?

I'd live in that house.

Are those things mating?
