I've lived in Orlando for three years now and have been out to Xanadu several times. I finally picked this book up and was really pleased by the vision of Xanadu it portrays: Women in space-age skirts, Will Robinson looking men taking time out to relax in front of a psychedelic light show, in the privacy of their own homes no less. It saddens me greatly to se Xanadu rotting out there on Highway 192. 0. Report.

Reviews about Xanadu: The Computerized Home of Tomorrow and How It Can Be Yours Today! (5):
Grari
Excellent book. Its an interesting piece of history. I especially liked their many predictions of future family life, and living in the future. Some of which has actually come to pass. Very cool.
Agarus
Good price and nice book from if you are a collector. I wanted to buy this as a kid in the 80s but I didn't have any money. I was surprised to run across this and I snapped it up. I like old things like this.
Gralinda
I fell in love with Xanadu as a child in Wisconsin Dells, this book brings me right back into that weird magical house that I wish I could live in right now.

I remember as a kid being fascinated by the Xamadu home of the future in Orlando. I had a chance to take a bunch of pictures right before they tore it down in 2006. It's a real shame that brilliant contributions to architecture and design are destroyed by narrow visioned property owners. The same thing happened to Frank Lloyd Wright and several of his buildings were torn down (then rebuilt). Xanadu the book captures the golden era of this attraction. And even though the attraction itself was limited by the budget available to it at the time - the inpiration and execution was genius. You can still see the sign on Hwy. 192. Obviously the owners didn't want to use the property for additional development but only to destroy the building itself instead of preserviing it and turning it into something else. Cheers.
