De technologische evolutie verteld aan de hand van aanstekelijke verhalen over experimenten, uitvindingen en grootste mislukkingen. Toekomstvoorspellingen uit het verleden slaan de plank vaak op vermakelijke wijze mis, maar zo nu en dan zijn ze ook griezelig accuraat. Met hun visioenen, hun denk- en knutselwerk waren wetenschappers, uitvinders, futurologen, sciencefictionschrijvers en fantasten hun tijd vaak ver vooruit. In ‘Futurama’ verdiept journalist Fanta Voogd zich in de geschiedenis van de toekomst. Aan de hand van kleine en grotere geschiedenissen schetst Voogd een caleidoscopisch beeld van de technologische evolutie. Zo laat hij zien dat revolutionaire ontwikkelingen ooit zijn ontstaan door toeval, of ontsproten aan het brein van een genie. Op aanstekelijke wijze toont ‘Futurama’ het grillige proces waaruit de wereld zoals wij die nu kennen is ontstaan. Een kroniek van de menselijke verbeeldingskracht, vol hoge verwachtingen en grootse mislukkingen.

The Literary Channel defines a crucial transnational literary'zone'that shaped the development of the modern novel. During the first two centuries of the genre's history, Britain and France were locked in political, economic, and military struggle. The period also saw British and French writers, critics, and readers enthusiastically exchanging works, codes, and theories of the novel. Building on both nationally based literary history and comparatist work on poetics, this book rethinks the genre's evolution as marking the power and limits of modern cultural nationalism. In the Channel zone, the novel developed through interactions among texts, readers, writers, and translators that inextricably linked national literary cultures. It served as a forum to promote and critique nationalist clichés, whether from the standpoint of Enlightenment cosmopolitanism, the insurgent nationalism of colonized spaces, or the non-nationalized culture of consumption. In the process, the Channel zone promoted codes that became the genre's hallmarks, including the sentimental poetics that would shape fiction through the nineteenth century. Uniting leading critics who bridge literary history and theory, The Literary Channel will appeal to all readers attentive to the future of literary studies, as well as those interested in the novel's development, British and French cultural history, and extra-national patterns of cultural exchange.
