Future Perfect

Posted on by

A witty, unflinching, and provocative memoir about one woman s journey into the fact, fiction, and fraud of the modern mystical complex In the months following the breakup with her longtime boyfriend, Victoria Loustalot crossed paths with multiple psychics eager to impart their vision Persistent and prescient, each one slightly chipped away at Victoria s innate skepticism She had to admit that what they knew about her past was eerily accurate As for her future She couldn t shake the feeling that some powerful force in the universe was trying to tell her something and, for once, she ought to listen Or at least investigate.In Future Perfect, Victoria draws on her own personal experience to launch a broader inquiry into the phenomena of psychics, shamans, astrologers, and their fans Through historical documents and interviews with clairvoyants, seers, and their believers, Victoria opens herself up to the modern mystical complex in cultures and cities around the globe She pays close attention to what they have to tell us about how we choose to live, what we might be missing out on in the process, and what in the world we re supposed to do with all that information.
