Desperately looking for some good futurologist to talk to about changes in society, how we live, the future.
Any recommendations? (UK is best)

Unfortunatly, massive lay-offs at the futurologism dept. were unavoidable.
Reason: There's no future.

Read something by Rem Koolhaas. An architect that writes on Urban Planning and more wacky side of postmodern cities. The Harvard Guide to Shopping (Taschen Specials) is a good start and Pearl River Delta (Taschen Specials) is a guide on what's goin on in China - Post Capitalist cities.

I thought about a career in futurology but Iwas told by my tutors that there's no future in it.
Oh dear, I feel ashamed of myself.
Have you seen the future culture of brands book 'Soon' by Lewis Blackwell and friends?

Speaking of Koolhaas, please buy 'Mutations'.. that'll give you some insight.

Yes, i think that's part of the same Harvaard Series. Which is a very good series on the subject...

After all you cant blame me, i didnt make the term futurologist up.

well, i call myself a futurist, but it's got nothing to do with advances in technology and more to do with sustainable modes of thought which lead to sustainable modes of production which leads to a better future for each of us.
