2063: The Future Revisited

In 1963, General Dynamics Astronautics asked politicians, scientists, and military commanders to speculate on the potential state of the world in 2063, recording all these speculations in the book you see above, and sealing it in a time capsule that was interred in the depths of the General Dynamics Astronautics building. Only 200 copies of the book are thought to have been made, and the copy included in the time capsule was lost during the demolition of the General Dynamics Astronautics building.

Thankfully, the entirety of the book is available as a download thanks to the fine folks at Paleo-Future, who have also made it available in print if the reading of a speculative future via devices that would make your forebear’s heads spin doesn’t whet your appetite for irony.
