Me and Major Tom

The new issue of Lapham's Quarterly is not out yet, but in the near future will be, and it is devoted to that topic exactly, the future.  I have an essay about how predicting the future has passed from its former importance even in the literature that once depended on it, SF; and yet I go ahead make a prediction anyway, which readers of this journal may remember having been shdawed forth here.

And check out this video accompanying the announcement of the new issue:
