Description

In this cultural, literary, and intellectual history, Gayle Rogers traces the debates over speculation from antiquity to the present. Recasting centuries of contests over the power to anticipate tomorrow, this book reveals the crucial role speculation has played in how we create—and potentially destroy—the future.
