In The Future Is History, Gessen follows the lives of four people born at what promised to be the dawn of democracy. Each of them came of age with unprecedented expectations, some as the children and grandchildren of the very architects of the new Russia, each with newfound aspirations of their own--as entrepreneurs, activists, thinkers, and writers, sexual and social beings. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGessen charts their paths against the machinations of the regime that would crush them all, and against the war it waged on understanding itself, which ensured the unobstructed reemergence of the old Soviet order in the form of today's terrifying and seemingly unstoppable mafia state. Powerful and urgent, The Future Is History is a cautionary tale for our time and for all time.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMasha Gessen \u003c\/b\u003eis a staff writer at the \u003ci\u003eNew Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e and the author of several books, among them \u003ci\u003eThe Man Without a Face: The Unlikely Rise of Vladimir Putin\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eThe recipient of numerous awards, including a Guggenheim Fellowship and a Carnegie Fellowship, Gessen teaches at Amherst College and lives in New York City.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 544\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.4 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 02, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51978511057197,"sku":"9781594634543","price":19.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/STlCSVlHc3ZvNFJ4SzA1L1V5dkNUdz09.webp?v=1775805559","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/the-future-is-history-national-book-award-winner-how-totalitarianism-reclaimed-russia-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
