Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh Kids Booklist

A Brave New World?

People have been worrying about the future and describing the past as a kind of 'golden age' since the dawn of time. Along with information about time itself, you can find imaginative views of what lies ahead and humorous glimpses of a not-that-pleasant past at your local library. (You can also find some great books about how to act now so that the future isn't quite as scary.)
