Future Past rollicks across a world of artificial gods and aliens that are altogether too damn real! It has villains that want to literally destroy the world, it has heroes that just need a good nap! If it doesn't make you think of some classics of science fantasy, then there's a whole list of books you need to read. Kevin McCarthy has constructed a future history in which the past -our present- is not so much forgotten as ...misremembered? De-extincted dinosaurs? Check. Loquacious extraterrestrial arachnid bureaucrats? Check. Animatronic pantheons? Check! The Creature from the Black Lagoon's Shakespearean doppelganger? Yes! Art! (It's chockful of art.)
