A Brief History of the Recent Future

Meer over het boek

Set in a satirical future, the narrative unfolds an absurd conflict between supporters of organic and artificial garbage as energy sources. It features a range of eccentric elements, including a credit-system economy, a Bronx Sanitation Air Force, and a rubber-raft island named Carabia. The story also introduces quirky inventions like a news toaster that prints headlines on toast and characters transformed by a peculiar substance called Mango Tango. Originally penned in the 1970s, its bizarre predictions have become increasingly relevant, reflecting our current dystopian reality.
