Camouflaged amidst racks of Love Potion sensual oil, Cake Magic icing syringes, and Telstar extension cords, the Pro-Robot Replacement Heads, Filter Translators, and Home Transplant Kits of the foreseeable future seemed perfectly at home, but were selling fast, to the great amusement of the store’s owner. “No returns,” he warned me, as I purchased a “Void Refill” ($1.08 with tax), whose back matter promises that, used correctly, this “high-quality, all-natural material helps keep concepts ephemeral” and “can be used to refresh the hollow present.”
Congratulations to Elliot Montgomeryand Chris Woebken for creating such a fantastic way to make and engage with stories about the future. Now, to encourage a guerrilla movement: future-bombing Family Dollar and 99¢ Only stores nationwide with distributed Extrapolation Factory products… As Bruce Sterling writes in Wired, “You have to think that’s the way forward, given, of course, that arrests and lawsuits don’t ensue.”"
