This Blog | "The Future" isn't just a point in time. It's also an idea that influences our culture. This blog explores how we think about "tomorrow" and how as a meme it has evolved over millennia. Topics include the future as an archetype, utopian and dystopian literature, the psychology of time, the futurism profession, science fiction as modern mythology, and anything else that helps us understand how we think about what's next.
