Overview

WipEout: Futurism explores the creation, aesthetics and enduring legacy of the anti-gravity racing series that launched with PlayStation in 1995. Through rarely seen concept art, design material and a detailed oral history, the book reveals how Psygnosis and The Designers Republic fused futuristic visuals with a cutting-edge electronic soundtrack to create a cultural phenomenon. Featuring contributions from key developers and designers, this visually arresting volume captures WipEout’s rise from pioneering 3D racer to design icon and beacon of ‘90s club-land cool.

This Limited Edition of 1,000 copies is housed in a holofoil-stamped clamshell box with a custom book case. Buyers can choose from eight exclusive designs, each based on a WipEout racing team: AG Systems, FEISAR, Goteki 45, Auricom, Piranha, Qirex, Assegai, and Icaras.
