Table of ContentsReviews'This is a fascinating and highly original book - a difficult achievement given how much has been written about Shanghai in recent years by both journalists and scholars. The author contributes not only to the literature on contemporary China and conversations about the nature of Chinese modernity, but also to interdisciplinary debates in urban studies and philosophical and literary discussions of the future. Shanghai Future should find interested readers in fields ranging from Chinese studies to urban studies, cultural geography to science fiction studies.' - Jeffrey Wasserstrom, author of China in the 21st Century: What Everyone Needs to Know 'This is a fascinating and highly original book - a difficult achievement given how much has been written about Shanghai in recent years by both journalists and scholars.

Those who arrive in the city for the first time are routinely shocked and awed by its dizzying skyline, bursting urbanism, and glaring ambitions. Anna Greenspan uses this adopted home to delve into the intriguing question of the future city. Drawing on a wide range of materials and first-hand observations, Greenspan convincingly shows how Shanghai and China will continue to reshape the world and redefine our imaginations of the future.' - Tong Lam, author of Abandoned Futures and A Passion for Facts Author InformationAnna Greenspan is a Shanghai-based philosopher who focuses on urbanism and digital culture.
