This obsession with individual human flight should have reached a fever pitch a decade ago.  As the year 2000 came and went, the promise of space-age technologies wasn’t kept by “the future”.  As explained in the trailer above, author Mac Montandon obsessively dug into one specific technology of science fiction– the Jetpack.  His book Jetpack Dreams is subtitled as “One man’s up and down (but mostly down) search for the greatest invention that never was.”  As you can imagine from watching that trailer above, the book is riveting, funny and strangely informative.  And thanks to Da Capo Press, we’ve got 3 autographed copies to give away to GearCrave readers.  Find out how to win one of your own below…
