{"product_id":"trees-on-mars-hal-niedzviecki-9781609806378","title":"Trees on Mars: Our Obsession with the Future","description":"The future is big right now--for perhaps the first time, our society is more focused on what is \u003ci\u003egoing to happen in the future\u003c\/i\u003e than \u003ci\u003ewhat is happening right now\u003c\/i\u003e. In \u003ci\u003eTrees on Mars: Our Obsession with the Future\u003c\/i\u003e, cultural critic and indie entrepreneur Hal Niedzviecki asks how and when we started believing we could and should \"create the future.\" What is it like to live in a society utterly focused on what is going to happen next? Through visits to colleges, corporations, tech conferences, factories and more, Niedzviecki traces the story of how owning the future has become irresistible to us. In deep conversation with both the beneficiaries and victims of our relentless obsession with the future, Niedzviecki asks crucial questions: Where are we actually heading? How will we get there? And whom may we be leaving behind?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hal Niedzviecki\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1609806379\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781609806378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Seven Stories Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/20\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eQuill \u0026amp; Quire\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2016 pg. 41\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/12\/2016","brand":"Hal Niedzviecki","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44079825322239,"sku":"9781609806378","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8ad0b8e1-325c-49a8-babd-001f354df48e.jpg?v=1685483360","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/trees-on-mars-hal-niedzviecki-9781609806378","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
