Take a closer look at some timely offerings below: 1. Hello Tomorrow! follows Jack Billings (played by Billy Crudup), a traveling salesman hawking time-shares on the moon, who wows new clients with grandiose visions of a better life off Earth. On the dark side, as an allegory for the illusory promise of the American dream, parallels to those who’ve experienced deceitful practices in real estate will be interested. For those looking for a fun example of candy-coated retro-futurism, enjoy the Jetsons-like view of the future. 2. The Aftermath: The Last Days of the Baby Boom and the Future of Power in America, the popular Washington Post columnist Philip Bump has analyzed how the end of the baby boom will impact American politics and economics including affordable housing. Bump will be a speaker at the 7th annual NHPF Symposium. 3.
