Recenzii
The Future of the World is an important book that properly situates the history of future research during the Cold War within its international contextand brings our attention to the methods that futurists used to justify the future worlds theyimagined. Andersson's book also highlights the need for historians to look at the broader institutional landscape of Cold War research firms, of which RAND was just one of many such examples. Such work will not only help us better understand RAND's historical significance, but also the ways in which professional expertise, consultancy, and method all intersected to shape the Cold War world and the one that came out of it.
