Ezra Klein recommended the book for its visual exploration of fonts in classic sciencefiction movies, calling it nerdy and glorious.
I thought I would say that everyone should go out and buy a book by a blogger, Dave Addy. It's called Typeset in the Future and it is an absolutely wonderful book where he goes through all of the great science fiction movies like Alien or Aliens or Star Wars or 2001, looks at the fonts in those movies, explains which fonts are used, why they're used, what they mean, and how that reflects our visions of the future. It's nerdy as all hell, but it is absolutely glorious.
