    • 1910, Gilbert Keith Chesterton, “The Futurists”, in Alarms and Discursions:
      The distinction, however, seems to be that the warriors of the past went in for tournaments, which were at least dangerous for themselves, while the Futurists go in for motor-cars, which are mainly alarming for other people.
    • 2005, Alan Bartram, Futurist Typography and the Liberated Text, Yale University Press, →ISBN, page 20:
      ‘A passion for destruction is also a creative passion.’ This statement by the Russian revolutionary Mikhail Bakunin in 1842 could have been the rallying cry of the Italian Futurists around 1910.
  2. One who studies and predicts possible futures.
    Synonym: futurologist
    • 2010, Douglas Rushkoff, Media Virus!, Random House, →ISBN, page 237:
      Two multibillion-dollar industries—the computer manufacturers and telephone companies—had each developed its technologies separately. But as futurist Howard Rheingold suggests in his book Virtual Communities, the industries inadvertently gave private consumers access to those billion of dollars by selling them a tiny device to link the two technologies together: a computer modem.

      Salvat took to heart what Marinetti was provocatively clamoring: “Futurist poetry, having already destroyed traditional metrics and created free verse, now destroys the Latin period and its syntax. Futurist poetry is a spontaneous uninterrupted flow of analogies, each synthesized in an essential noun”.
