Contributors to The Future Dictionary of America. - - - - The Future Dictionary of America is an imagining of what a dictionary might look like about 30 years hence, when all or most of the world's problems are solved and our current president is a distant memory. We wanted to take a moment to thank all of the contributors who helped make the project possible. The Future Dictionary of America is available for order in our online store. - - - - Diane Ackerman Chris Adrian Julia Alvarez Jonathan Ames David Amsden Jessica Anthony Donald Antrim Paul Auster Chris Bachelder Istvan Banyai Tom Barbash Rick Bass Charles Baxter Thomas Beller Aimee Bender Shoshana Berger D.C.
