The essays in this book, I Hear a Future: Producing Time and Meaning through Music in Egypt and Beyond, are based on a series of talks, interviews, and conversations I had with musicians based in the region between 2018 and 2021. Our exchanges led us to a popular music theory of that period, "the slow cancelation of the future," which had been propelled into wider consciousness a few years earlier by late British music critic Mark Fisher.
