GM's futurama at New York World's fair 1939

futurama was the General Motor's exhibit on the New York world's fair in 1939. it showed a big model of the (visionary) perfect society 20 years into the future. (that was 1960). today we could watch the same pictures as a complete description of most of what the country looks like today.

it is amazing how "well" the experiments turned out. it has been many years since GM admitted to have anything to do with forming our physical environment, but chances are that their role has been bigger than we know of.
