Summary

Chris Foss: Visions of Tomorrow

“An incredible selection of Foss’ work.” - io9“An indispensable collection of out-there space art.” - SciFi Bulletin“There’s a real sense of wonder all over this book and personally, I still find it all very inspiring. [Hardware] truly is a terrific book and certainly highly, highly recommended.” - The Trades“A great art book, and one you should definitely own… this belongs on your coffee table next to the work of other great artists like Ansel Adams and Roy Lichtenstein.” - Never Not a Nerd“I was constantly blown away by Foss’s ability to turn fiction into reality. [Foss’s art is] full of things we’ll likely never see but it looks so authentic, like a history book of the future. It’s grounded in such a reality that you can’t help but believe it might be real.” - Very Aware”… this book will turn you into a fan…” - We Love Cult“I absolutely love this thing.” - Topless Robot
