Synopsis
"The Private Future, a book of social prophecy, published in 1973, provides evidence of how penetrating Pawley's vision could be. He foresaw a society with ever greater technical means of communication becoming paradoxically more insular and dysfunctional. Reading his description of what we now recognise as an iPod-plugged web surfer you have to remind yourself that it was written on an Olympia typewriter long before the advent of the word processor or the mobile phone."
