Presented in a more compact, 200 page perfect-bound format, this 2004 version extends the novel’s eleven original chapters to fourteen.

Contributions from Rita McBride, Laura Cottingham, Nick Crowe, Matthew Licht, Alexandre Melo and more form a collaborative portrait of a future not that unfamiliar from the present. Positing artists as individuals with “time-traveling” or “shapeshifting” capabilities, the texts engage with a modernist “art of the future” approach to imagine a tumbling, unsettling destiny permeated by extremes and preoccupied with the past.
