Jenny Andersson explains how futurist scholars and researchers imagined the Cold War and post Cold War world and the tools and methods they would use to influence and change that world. Futurists were a motley crew of Cold War warriors, nuclear scientists, journalists, and peace activists. Some argued it should be a closed sphere of science defined by delimited probabilities. They were challenged by alternative notions of the future as a potentially open realm. Futurism also drew on an eclectic range of repertoires, some of which were deduced from positivist social science, mathematics, and nuclear physics, and some of which sprung from alternative forms of knowledge in science fiction, journalism, or religion. 000845091 588__ $$aDescription based on online resource; title from home page (viewed on July 31, 2018). 000845091 650_0 $$aForecasting$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000845091 77608 $$iPrint version: $$z9780198814337 000845091 85280 $$bebk$$hOxford Scholarship Online 000845091 85640 $$3Oxford scholarship online$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198814337.001.0001$$zOnline Access 000845091 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:845091$$pGLOBAL_SET 000845091 980__ $$aEBOOK 000845091 980__ $$aBIB 000845091 982__ $$aEbook 000845091 983__ $$aOnline
