2034: Writing Rochester's Futures
Where will you be in 2034?
2034: Writing Rochester's Futures attempts to address this question. Nineteen authors in all (eighteen in print, a nineteenth here on the website) offer glimpses of a Rochester in her 200th year as optimism vies with skepticism, and even pessimistic visions are sometimes whimsical.
