About this book
As society braces itself for the millennium and wonders at the changes it will bring, artists of the fantastic have taken on the role of pathfinder and prepared the rest of us for the magic that may come. Will we traverse the galaxies in gleaming starships or sink back into a dark age of swordplay and sorcery? Will dinosaurs again rule the Earth or will new monsters emerge from our nightmares? Are aliens watching us or… are they already here? Artists of the fantastic may not have the answers, but they have wonderfully shown us the possibilities of “what if?”.
