- Imagined Futures is a substantial monograph (423pp.) which provides the first full account of a significant book series of 110 volumes projecting the future of different fields. It offers a critical and theoretical assessment of the series, placing it in its social, cultural, historical, and literary-historical contexts, and drawing upon two of the editor C. K. Ogden’s other comparable book series (another 110 and 150+ volumes). The book also draws on archival material to establish the book history and reception of the series. It is the product of a decade’s research.
