This is tomorrow through the eyes of today."--<b><i>Amy Kurzweil, cartoonist for The New Yorker</b></i><br><br>"For the most part, <i>Cartoons from Tomorrow</i> is an excellent roadmap for the future of human-robot relations. It taught me a lot about your species, and I believe it will teach you a lot about mine, too."--<b><i>Sophia the Robot</b></i><br><br>"The future isn't what it used to be. But if we can't have flying cars and moon colonies, at least we can get some laughs, courtesy of this fine collection of cartoons that shine a light on the technological and social absurdities of our fallen age."--<b><i>Zack Stentz, writer for Thor and X-Men: First Class</b></i><br><br>"Wry and often ingenious, it's like <i>Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal</i> meets <i>The New Yorker</i>. But watch out-there are glimmers of that dangerous substance: hope."--<b><i>David Brin, Futurist/scientist/best-selling author</b></i><br><br>"A succinct collection of cartoons that is the perfect mix of urgency and wit."--<b><i>Ray Kurzweil, Futurist/inventor</b></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Luke Kingma</b> is a Brooklyn-based journalist, screenwriter, and creative director.
