What is Typeset in the Future : Typography and Design in Science Fiction Movies about?

A designer's deep dive into seven science fiction films, filled with "gloriously esoteric nerdery [and] observations as witty as they are keen" ( Wired ). In  Typeset in the Future , blogger and designer Dave Addey invites sci-fi movie fans on a journey through seven genre-defining classics, discovering how they create compelling visions of the future through typography and design. The book delves deep into  2001: A Space Odyssey ,  Star Trek: The Motion Picture ,  Alien ,  Blade Runner ,  Total Recall ,  WALL·E , and  Moon , studying the design tricks and inspirations that make each film transcend mere celluloid and become a believable reality. These studies are illustrated by film stills, concept art, type specimens, and ephemera, plus original interviews with Mike Okuda ( Star Trek ), Paul Verhoeven ( Total Recall ), and Ralph Eggleston and Craig Foster (Pixar).  Typeset in the Future  is an obsessively geeky study of how classic sci-fi movies draw us in to their imagined worlds.
