      This is the second volume in a new series of collaborations between artist Maira Kalman, writer Daniel Handler (a.k.a. Lemony Snicket), and The Museum of Modern Art, New York. This time a whimsical collection of images captures people in motion--or not. In snapshots by some of the world's most celebrated photographers, some people stride forth, dash across streets, race on bicycles, and jump over puddles, while others form snaking lines, daydream on park benches, and linger on sidewalks with friends.

      Imagine what a dictionary might look like about thirty years hence, when all of the world's problems are solved and our current dictionaries are a distant memory. Dave Eggers, Jonathan Safran Foer and Nicole Krauss have lined up an incredible array of writers to bring you that futuristic dictionary and a vision of the world as it might be. Think of it as a dictionary of language for describing what the future could look like a dictionary that is both useful and romantic, hopeful and necessary, pragmatic and idealistic, and frequently funny. This is science fiction but with a difference.

    • Lemony Sniket prohlásil, že tato kniha je velmi nebezpečná. „Kdyby vás s tímto podezřelým rukopisem spatřili nesprávní lidé, mohlo by to pro vás mít nedozírné následky. Proto je kniha z bezpečnostních důvodů opatřena oboustrannou obálkou. Co nejrychleji ji tedy přebalte. Tato kamufláž totiž může být vaší jedinou nadějí“.
