Bernard Cooper

I found the second half of Cooper's Maps to anywhere a little bit harder to follow. In the section titled "The House of the Future," Cooper talks about a futuristic house at Disneyland that he, his mom, and his dad waited in line to enter. He also talks about his fascination with futuristic things, and how he would search in his comic books for "tomorrow's uncanny manifestations." I think this is related to how children always search for something different in society, due to their wild imaginations.
One of the strangest stories was, "The Theory of Relativity." He talks about children with their over-sized heads taking over the world. I really have no clue Coopers meaning in this story, I just thought it was an interesting story.
