This book (301 page PDF) expands on the idea of futurism as a type of literacy. "This is about understanding the nature of the future and the role it plays in what we see and do. Evidence shows that people can change how and why they think about the future. Developing this capacity to imagine can be a powerful tool for catalysing change today." We can see the future in the signs we see today. "The  future does not exist in the present but anticipation does. The form the future takes in the present is anticipation."
