Hello GHOSTS fans,

Thanks to your steadfast support for the 2019 reissue of Usborne's cult-classic The World of The Unknown: GHOSTS, Usborne has re-published all three books in the World of the Unknown series!

Now, to celebrate 50 years of Usborne books, The Usborne Book of The Future is being published (again), TOMORROW.

First published in 1979, The Usborne Book of The Future is a fondly-remembered book from a time when people dreamed of the future as a place filled with wonder and amazing new technology. After more than 40 years of science fiction focussing on dystopias and doom, it's time to remind readers young and old that, in fact, the Future is STILL a place that holds hope and excitement.

This re-issued book retains the original text and stunning artwork, but now comes with a foreword by renowned Applie Futurist Tom Cheesewright, who was inspired into his career by the original edition of the book (read his blog here). From outlining the internet to asteroid mines to 3D printers and robot helpers, you'll be surprised by how accurately this book predicted life in the 21st Century...

It's a view from the 1970s, of the future of the 2000s and beyond, publishing tomorrow, and you can buy it today! 

Available to buy now from all good bookshops, or online from:
