The future is now – it might even be over already. Past, present and future collide in poems about Joan of Arc and hoverboards, Henry Ford and Harrison Ford, Sarajevo and the Crimea. The book has been written already and translated into English – but it has yet to be printed and distributed.

Further Information

The Future is just around the corner, it‘s a bit world weary, it has humor and lyricism, sometimes you suspect it‘s grip on reality is tighter than it pretends, there are travels, inside and outside, suffering and tentative social undercurrents. Good books have the gift of prophecy. The Future is just around the corner.“

– Hermann Stefánsson, author

This is a book about a system that chains us all despite all our best intentions. It‘s a book about a market that devours all dissident art and turns it into cash, stocks and amusement parks.

I‘ve already written this book (in both English and Icelandic) – but I need the money to print it and distribute it. That‘s why I reach out to you. It‘s up to make The Future happen.

Holy Ford

I see the future. I see the ants multiply and work together, making a better world. A world with cheaper electronics. A world where the clothes are more comfortable. A world where the colorful dress of the poor gypsy lady will be a fashion item. A world where the poor gypsy lady wears used sweatpants.

A world where everybody is just about to make it big.

A world where many hands come together to finish the job. A world where many hands work and work and work. A world where the ants admire the humans for their discipline and productivity and their solidarity. A world where the Earth is one giant anthill.

A world where the poor will have somebody even poorer to pity. To put things into context. So everyone knows that even if they got it bad others have it worse. Even if your child is starving you cannot forget that somewhere else there is a child that is malnourished. Even if your child is dying you cannot forget that somewhere else another child is already dead.
