"'Imaginary Landscapes is a deceptively small book containing a mixture of prophecy, fact and metaphysical theory blended together under the guise of fiction. It is never clear what meshing or interpretation to give to the text. Indeed, readers cannot even agree on the contents. There is no question the words remain the same, but each reader structures the text to meet [their] own expectations. This quandary is the heart of subjective divination. ... Vastly simplified, subjective division proposes a magical theory where what can be imagined becomes a potential reality. Therefore. by imagining possible futures, one is actually predicting future events, through the act of creating those events."[1]
"Imaginary Landscapes is therefore not a work of fiction but a prediction of the future—except that some of the events it describes have already occurred since the book was written, while others remain fictitious, and others have yet to occur, if they happen at all."[1]
It is found in the collection at the Grey College's library of geography.[2]
