 | | If you’ve never dropped the word “dubyavirus” into casual conversation, urged that an official be “ashcrofted” or commented upon “The Cheney Effect,” then you haven’t seen the future, at least the future according to McSweeney’s. |
 | | Coming in August from McSweeney’s, the publishing house founded by author-activist Dave Eggers, is “The Future Dictionary of America,” a Utopian tome set “sometime” beyond the present. |
 | | “The dictionary was conceived as a way for a great number of American writers and artists to voice their displeasure with their current political leadership, and to collectively imagine a brighter future,” reads an introductory note from the editors, who include Eggers and novelist Jonathan Safran Foer. |
