fascinating, albeit somewhat dated

Yesterday's Tomorrows: Past Visions of the American Future by Joseph J. Corn
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

a pretty fascinating, albeit somewhat dated perspective on yesterday's predictions of "tomorrow" (now). it was fun seeing some of the wild ideas about what the 21st century would be like. I think the funniest and also disappointing was that we'd have so much leisure time in the 21st century that we'd hardly need to work and have much time for recreation. We all know how that turned out!
