Lowndes was a fabulous editor, known for taking mediocre material and making it into solid and entertaining magazines. I’ve talked about a few of his editorial essays before and have plans to discuss his “Yesterday’s World of Tomorrow” essay series at some point.
I love that series! It made me think, “Here is a man after my own heart.” Reading assorted editorials in Future and Knight’s account of him in the n caused me to pick up the book that NEFSA put out of his editorials from the 60s. Haven’t cracked it yet but looking forward to it.

*should’ve read “ Knight’s account of him in the Futurians”
I was just thinking about the Futurians this morning! Nothing serious, just how much fun it would have been to meet them back in the day. :)
