Media Reviews

A marvellous, sceptical history of the culture of prediction. Between the technocrat's theme-park dreams and the catastrophist's ominous signs, he sees futures that we can live in. --Meaghan Morris

Sharply critical yet generously appreciative, Strange Weather will stand as the definitive study of the technoculture which increasingly dominates our lives. --Joel Kovel
