Reviews

“Harding and the illustrator Florian Toperngpong provide plausible reasonings of what the future will bring, but never in a precocious or self-righteous way. The message of the book (and the book itself) is thoroughly entertaining and gripping at the same time. I label this book already now (in the year 2020) a library-classic, which it will definitely be in the year 2050.” Bernd Graff, Süddeutsche Zeitung

»› Future History 2050 ‹is as fascinatingly imaginative as it is terrifyingly realistic, especially because the pseudo-documentary form makes it clear that the real problem lies in the human ability to come to terms with and focus only on one's own everyday life." Kathrin Köller, Eselsohr
