Futurism was born out of humanity's sudden thrust into technological revolution. To the many that witnessed the dramatic, rapid change, it seemed a technological utopia was fast approaching. This unbridled optimism caused the collective imagination to run wild.
Dreams of the future reveal more about the mind of the dreamer than the future itself.

Futurism was born out of humanity's reaction to a sudden thrust into technological revolution. To the many that witnessed the rapid change, it seemed technological utopia was fast approaching. This unbridled optimism caused the collective imagination to run wild.
Although many of these visions seem almost comical now - the spirit in which they were created is part of the reason you are currently looking into a glowing rectangle with unlimited, instant access to the sum of all human knowledge.
POSTING GUIDELINES:

Vintage Sci-fi =/= Retrofuturism
Please avoid posting vintage technology, unless it has a intentionally and obviously "futuristic" design.
I will work to prevent default sub syndrome: clickbait titling, meme-ification, etc. So please watch the titling and try to be as informative as possible! Vast majority of submissions have been perfect for the sub and the community is great. Just want to nip any trends in the bud. I reserve the right prune low-quality and/or questionable content to keep the frontpage looking good!

Introduced at the 1986 Geneva Motor Show, the Eole was a four-passenger luxury wagon based on the production CX – Citroën’s very successful executive sedan and enormous, family-swallowing Safari model. But while that car had its roots in the 1970s, the Eole was an exploration of where the genre might go in the next decade and beyond.
The estate wagon is often seen as the humble workhorse of the automotive world, considered more for its function and overlooked as an inspired platform for stylistic or technological innovation. But in 1986 Citroën came forward with a bold concept that led to a re-evaluation of this time-worn belief.
