Massive Change: The Future of Global Design Book

An exciting book to get into - I love all those OMA-related big colorful books. The problem is that this is one of those visionary books that attempts to throw a big WOW over the nauseating forward motion of science and technology. That would be great if this weren't already fairly dated - nothing fades faster than the big wow of what technology will do to our way of being than a hint of being dated. And it'd not dated enough to be a nostalgic walk through the future of the past.

Still, some of it is pretty fascinating, and the argument, that the world in which we live and which we build is a design masterpiece to put the death star to shame, is a compelling one. It is the sense of wonder that comes through. Still, it is a bit hard to finish.
