Why read it?
1 author picked Remembering the Future as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
At first, I was a little miffed with this book since some contributors favored New York’s first World’s Fair in 1939 over the second in 1964. But the fact is, we’ll always prefer the fair we visited when we were children over the fair we visited as an adult, and this book backs this up.
Still, it was good for me to read about the previous fair to better understand the latter fair. I’m not a New Yorker, but I soaked it up.
From Ruth's list on the 1964-1965 New York World’s Fair.
