A decade-spanning collection of essays and interviews from acclaimed music journalist Simon Reynolds on music that seems to prefigure the future
Pre-order Simon Reynold's forthcoming Still in a Dream: Shoegaze, Slackers, and the Reinvention of Rock, 1984-1994, publishing June 2026.
'A captivating celebration of the music that pushes us forward' RECORD COLLECTOR
Futuromania is a celebration of music that feels like a taste of tomorrow: the vanguard genres and heroic innovators who prefigure and shape pop music's future. It explores the interface between pop music and science fiction's utopian dreams and nightmare visions, paying as much attention to the febrile creativity of the human mind as it does to the era-defining advances in electronic hardware and digital software.
From Giorgio Moroder and Donna Summer to Boards of Canada, Burial, Flying Lotus and dozens more, this collection of essays and interviews by critically-acclaimed author Simon Reynolds coheres into an exhilarating chronological narrative of machine-music from the 1970s to today. A fascinating guide through adventures in sound, there is a lifetime of electronic listening here.
