Through historical case studies of engineers, scientists, and innovators, it shows how technological development is slower, messier, and more constrained than popular futurism suggests. Rather than a story of constant breakthroughs, it presents a pattern of partial success, adaptation, and unintended outcomes that reshape how we actually experience “the future.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52568142709075,"sku":"1695","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/57_5fbfa5d5-d140-479f-b560-b39f7a67b25b.jpg?v=1765458708","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/nicole-kobie-the-long-history-of-the-future-hardback-1st-edition","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
