Description
Description
The Futurist by James P. Othmer is a sharp, darkly funny satire about globalization, corporate culture, politics, and the business of predicting the future.
Yates makes an excellent living travelling the world as a professional futurist, delivering carefully packaged optimism to governments, corporations, and international conferences. Privately, however, he is deeply cynical about the very ideas he sells. When his personal life collapses and a violent incident shakes him during a conference in Johannesburg, Yates abandons his polished script and gives a spectacularly career-ending speech.
What follows is an unpredictable journey around the world as he is drawn into a bizarre mission to understand why America has become so widely resented. Witty, provocative, and deliberately outrageous, The Futurist combines political satire, social commentary, adventure, and moral questioning.
