What a fantastic fully researched book, it was even better than I expected! I am so glad authors are exploring new topics for us Disney fans, I was getting bored with the same old rehashed books about the parks. It is packed with large, full-colored photos and so much more! I hope more authors do more of this in-depth type of Distory Park history.

It was a glimpse into a world of endless possibilities, and the collaborative effort between Walt Disney, his Imagineering team, MIT, and Monsanto brought this vision to life in an inspiring way.What truly sets this book apart are the stunning, never-before-seen photographs and illustrations that offer an immersive experience into the world of The House of the Future. These visuals, combined with Bossert's meticulous research, transport readers back in time and allow them to appreciate the lasting impact this attraction had on generations of visitors.Ultimately, "The House of the Future" is more than a historical account; it's a testament to the power of imagination, innovation, and the unwavering pursuit of progress.

Amazed at how modern & sophisticated it was for coming from 1950’s

I was really interested in this House of the Future a few years ago when I first heard about it, so I was glad to see that someone wrote a book about it. The book was kind of expensive but worth it.

Great Book, a must for the Disney fan, especially those that miss the old attractions.

Wonderful history with photos and drawings of a long gone Disneyland attraction.

I got this book directly from the author. It’s wonderful. As a child who grew up in Southern California, I’ve spent a lot of time at Disneyland. And I remember the House of the Future from when I was a child. It is such a great exposure of the attraction. I highly recommend this book. So many great photos, and diagrams. Well worth the purchase price.
