Authors love telling the future. Dark dystopias and surreal comedies give a warning to our future selves that we'd be wise to take to heart. But there aren't any clear visions, and some predictions hold up better than others. Blank on Blank looks at interviews with authors Ayn Rand, Kurt Vonnegut and Aldous Huxley to see what they got right — and what they didn't.
The 1988 thriller Miracle Mile imagines the breakdown in the hour before a nuclear war begins. It starts as a romance until a random phone call informs the main character that there is one hour before the apocalypse. Sadly, the premise deserves a second look during the heightened tensions of today's world.
From 1989 to 1999, the 8-series sat at the top of BMW's lineup. A two-door grand tourer, the V8-powered 840 and the V12-engined 850 were an entirely new design aimed at customers looking for the best way to cover long trips at averages of over 100 MPH. While the 8-series is rare in any form, this 850CSi is even more so, with 1500 produced. This well-loved example is driven daily, with a family heritage that makes it more than your usual trailer queen.
Tivoli Audio is known for its classically-styled radios. The Pal BT distills that same design sense down into a portable package. As one would expect, it has a robust AM/FM radio built in, as well as Bluetooth for modern streaming services and a pair of 3.5mm jacks for input/headphones. It's controlled with just three knobs, with nary a screen to be seen, and the rechargeable battery lasts at least 16 hours between charges. None of that matters if it doesn't sound good, so its 2.5" full-range speaker works with the compact cabinet to create surprisingly full sound, and its weather-resistant body means it's up to outdoor use, as well.
