Futurists get to a certain age and, as one does, they suddenly recognize their own mortality.
William Gibson
Image
Science fiction is the great opportunity to speculate on what could happen. It does give me, as a futurist, scenarios.
Ray Kurzweil
Image
I hardly see myself as a futurist.
Dick Wolf
Image
I don't like speed. I would have made a terrible Futurist. Even when I did take drugs, I never liked amphetamines and much preferred the slow taffy-pull of time that you get with opiates.
Elaine Equi

And we [The Futurist artists] must invent dynamic designs to go with them and express them in equally dynamic shapes: triangles, cones, spirals, ellipses, circles, etc.
Giacomo Balla
Image
I'm a futurist. Technology is our way out of almost every problem we have. Technology can create a new sense of community.
Hal Sparks
Image
We have the technology to build a global paradise on earth, and at the same time, we have the power to end life as we know it. I am a futurist. I cannot predict the actual future - only what it can be if we manage the earth and its resources intelligently.
Jacque Fresco
Image
I don't like the word 'futurists.' I think we should be 'nowists.'
Joichi Ito
Image
One thing the futurists never get right, though, is that the extreme desire for polyester only lasted a brief period in the '70s!
Lea Thompson
Image
I've actually tried not to call myself a futurist for the last 25 years. I prefer forecaster, but people call me a futurist, and it doesn't really bother me.
Paul Saffo

To the Young Artists of Italy! The cry of rebellion that we launch, linking our ideals with those of the Futurist poets, does not originate in an aesthetic clique. It expresses the violent desire that stirs in the veins of every creative artist today.
Umberto Boccioni
Image
I advocate as a futurist and also as a member of the Transhumanist Party, that we never let artificial intelligence completely go on its own. I just don't see why the human species needs an artificial entity, an artificial intelligence entity, that's 10,000 times smarter than us. I just don't see why that could ever be a good thing.
Zoltan Istvan

The Futurists?.... Well, of course, they are already past.
Ada Leverson
Image
Use of paper has continued to soar. It is as though paper is taking its revenge on the futurists - not that any futurist has ever lost business because of a wrong prediction.
Edward Tenner
Image
New York is the cubist, the futurist city. It expresses in its architecture, its life, its spirit, the modern thought.
Francis Picabia
Image
I never quite trust futurists because I think they're kind of telling us what they think our future should be.
Gloria Steinem
Image
I was an avid reader of futurists during the 1970s and '80s. They were so wrong - about everything.
Hermann E. Ott
Image
Most of us who work as professional futurists never really stop gathering information - you never know when a provocative, potentially disruptive new development might appear.
Jamais Cascio
Image
This is actually a very important principle that science is learning about large systems like evolution and that futurists are learning about anticipating human society: just because a future scenario is plausible doesn't mean we can get there from here.
Kevin Kelly
