Authors' Limitless Imagination Celebrated in Book Culture Posters

Y&R New York recently launched new work for Book Culture, an independent bookstore in Manhattan. On a series of posters, Y&R New York juxtaposes the covers of literary classics by Jules Verne, George Orwell, H.G. Wells and Mary Shelley with images depicting iconic moments in history – that had been in some way imagined by those writers decades earlier. Using the tagline Imagination Got There First, Y&R highlights how the limitlessness of the writer’s imagination can sometimes predict the future.
