Críticas
This book is brilliant and addictively readable. It's also mandatory reading for anyone who loves history and for anyone who claims to have a capacity for forecasting. It'll probably make them angry because it turns so many sacred assumptions upside down but that's what the future does. Klosterman's writing style is direct, highly personal and robotically crisp he's like a stranger on the seat next to you on a plane who gives you a billion dollar idea. A terrific book.
--Douglas Coupland
In "But What If We re Wrong?" [Klosterman] takes on the really big picture . . . He ranges far and wide over the realm of known knowns and known unknowns.
Brigitte Frase, Minneapolis "Star Tribune"
I have often wondered how the times I live in will be remembered once they turn into History. It never occurred to me to figure out how to write a book about it, though, which is one of the reasons why Chuck Klosterman is smarter than I am.
Aimee Levitt, "The Chicago Reader"
Klosterman has proven himself an insightful and evolving philosopher for popular consumption . . . In his latest, "But What If We re Wrong?," Klosterman probes the very notions of existence and longevity, resulting perhaps in the most mind-expanding writing of his career.
Max Kyburz, "Gothamist"
Chuck Klosterman is no time traveler, but he's got a lot of ideas about how the future will shake out . . . in ["But What If We re Wrong?"] he ponders the limits of humanity s search for truth.
Chris Weller, "Tech Insider"
Prolific pop-culture critic Chuck Klosterman tackles his most ambitious project yet in new book"But What If We re Wrong?," which combines research, personal reflections and interviews.
Alexandra Cavallo, "The Improper Bostonian"
Full of intelligence and insights, as the author gleefully turns ideas upside down to better understand them.... This book will become a popular book club selection because it makes readers think. Replete with lots of nifty, whimsical footnotes, this clever, speculative book challenges our beliefs with jocularity and perspicacity. "Kirkus"(starred review)
A spin class for the brain Klosterman challenges readers to reexamine the stability of basic concepts, and in doing so broadens our perspectives . An engaging and entertaining workout for the mind led by one of today s funniest and most thought-provoking writers. "Library Journal"(starred review)

Douglas Coupland" --Brigitte frase Minneapolis Star & Tribune
[Klosterman s] most wide-ranging accomplishment to date As inquisitive, thoughtful and dryly funny as ever," But What If We re Wrong?.".. [is] crackling with the writer s signature wit.
Will Ashton, "Pittsburgh Post-Gazette"
Klosterman is outlining the ideology of a contrarian here and reminding us of the important role that revisionism plays in cultural writing. What matters is the way he thinks about thinking and the way he makes you think about how you think. And, in the end, this is all that criticism can really hope to do.

Reseña del editor
This has always been the case, no matter how often that certainty has failed. Though no generation believes there's nothing left to learn, every generation unconsciously assumes that what has already been defined and accepted is (probably) pretty close to how reality will be viewed in perpetuity. And then, of course, time passes. Ideas shift. Opinions invert. What once seemed reasonable eventually becomes absurd, replaced by modern perspectives that feel even more irrefutable and secure - until, of course, they don't. But What If We're Wrong? visualizes the contemporary world as it will appear to those who'll perceive it as the distant past. Chuck Klosterman asks questions that are profound in their simplicity: How certain are we about our understanding of gravity? How certain are we about our understanding of time? What will be the defining memory of rock music, five hundred years from today? How seriously should we view the content of our dreams? How seriously should we view the content of television? Are all sports destined for extinction? Is it possible that the greatest artist of our era is currently unknown (or - weirder still - widely known, but entirely disrespected)? Is it possible that we `overrate' democracy? And perhaps most disturbing, is it possible that we've reached the end of knowledge? Kinetically slingshotting through a broad spectrum of objective and subjective problems, But What If We're Wrong? is built on interviews with a variety of creative thinkers - George Saunders, David Byrne, Jonathan Lethem, Kathryn Schulz, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Brian Greene, Junot Diaz, Amanda Petrusich, Ryan Adams, Nick Bostrom, Dan Carlin, and Richard Linklater, among others - interwoven with the type of high-wire humor and nontraditional analysis only Klosterman would dare to attempt. It's a seemingly impossible achievement: a book about the things we cannot know, explained as if we did. It's about how we live now, once `now' has become `then'.
