When future was fabulous...
Still this is one of my most liked books, because it shows a highly optimistic view into a technologically dominated future.

So forget today´s business, buckle up and fly with me to planet Mead60:
I´ve made those photos at a book market in Lucca/Italy, where I´ve found this very rare copy.

I was 14 in 1960 and I remember my father bringing home this book. He was a junior executive for an auto supplier. My brother and I pored over that volume for years, and I don't know what happened to it. I should ask my brother, as he got a lot of our father's things.
It´definitly worth some research work!
