Where鈥檚 my space age? by Sean Topham, Prestel, 拢22.95, ISBN 3791328441 Reviewed by Marcus Chown
SEAN Topham鈥檚 book could have been titled 鈥淭hat was the future that was鈥�. From the Martians of TV mashed potato ads to ultrasound baths to 鈥渢ri-beam鈥� cosmic-ray guns, this is the way we saw the future at the dawn of the space age. Savour this glossy nostalgia and mourn the psychedelic reality that might have been.
