Memoirs of the Twentieth Century

av Samuel Madden
Memoirs of the Twentieth Century av Samuel Madden
Om Memoirs of the Twentieth Century

Written in 1733, Memoirs of the Twentieth Century is widely regarded to contain the earliest known conception of time-travel and, in particular, the first cognitive leap that would allow for a historicized image of the present as seen from the point of view of a distant future. Intriguingly, it is the text itself which is claimed to have traveled back in time and Madden has used this conceit to satirize his own period - tracing out its bureaucratic absurdities into a strange yet pointed vision of the late 20th century: a world politically fraught, overwhelmed with corruption and struggling to reconcile religious faith with scientific discovery. This new edition includes Liam Gillick's Prevision. Should the Future Help the Past?
