I’m just going through a pile of newspaper cuttings, magazines and journals for the next issue of my What’s Next report. Towards the top of the pile I’ve discovered a little gem from Douglas Coupland in the FT.

” …the future was always something out there up ahead of us, something to anticipate or dread, but it was always away from the present. But not any more. Somewhere in the past few years the present melted into the future….I feel like I’m clamped into a temporal roller coaster…Help! I want a pill called 1995.”
