The Allusionist

97. The Future is Now?

“There are two ways to say ‘The future is now’: you can say it optimistically, like, ‘The future is now! Isn't that cool?’ Or you could be like, ‘The future is now, and we're totally screwed.’” <a href="http://roseeveleth.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Rose Eveleth</a>, of the future-envisioning podcast <a href="https://www.flashforwardpod.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Flash Forward</a>, tracks the past and present of one of her favourite phrases.
