Imagination Applied Press
Stories That Rehearsed Tomorrow
Annotated documentary editions of the moments when people imagined a technology before they had it.
Who it is for. Readers of technology history — and the closest of the four series to the practice, since the argument is that we rehearse the future before we build it.
Held before publication. Kindle is release-ready for a United States-only posture; the paperback is held pending qualified Canadian rights review of every story and documentary image.
