Publisher's summary

In an age of instant access to the past and pixel-perfect simulations, nostalgia has never felt so real…or so dangerous. Our longing for simpler times offers comfort, but can also hinder our growth. With captivating analysis and relatable storytelling, The Future Past unpacks how technology amplifies and exploits our sense of nostalgia for the past.

Delve into how our brains are wired to remember, uncover how algorithms feed our cravings for the familiar, and how curated online feeds warp our perception of history. With an eye towards the future, this book examines the ways in which nostalgia can be a tool both for good and for harm. You'll explore how excessive or distorted nostalgia feeds escapism, fuels political movements, and can stifle forward momentum.

The Future Past offers crucial insights about harnessing nostalgic feelings in healthy ways, preserving memory without compromising growth. This accessible and thought-provoking guide is essential for anyone navigating our digitally saturated, increasingly nostalgic world.
