really interesting subject."

"Typeset in the Future: Typography and Design in Science Fiction
Movies by Dave Addey shifts the focus to pop culture, exploring the
use of typography and graphic design to represent the future in
classic science sci-fi movies."
*Buzzfeed*
"the text isn’t just informative—it’s also very funny, from his
tongue-in-cheek rules for setting your text in the FUTURE to
non-typographical observations about technology. I learned a lot of
fun trivia about various movies, things that I never would have
noticed"
*GeekDad*
"Typeset in the Future is an obsessively geeky study of how classic
sci-fi movies draw us in to their imagined worlds—and how they have
come to represent “THE FUTURE” in popular culture."
*Forces of Geek*
"This dense volume provides a focused, yet humorous study of seven
classic sci-fi movies – A Space Odyssey, Star Trek: The Motion
Picture, Alien, Blade Runner, Total Recall, WALL-E and Moon – all
of which have made use of Aldo Novarese’s Eurostile Bold
Extended."
