Cartomancie de l'An 2000 Designer(s), Artist(s): Pino Zac Country of Publication: France Number of Cards: 22 Publication Year: 1981 Publication Status: Out of print Italian cartoonist Pino Zac created several comical card decks, but perhaps the one holding the most appeal for tarot collectors is his "Cartomancie de l'An 2000." Published in 1981, Zac humorously extrapolated a vision of life on the brink of the 21st century. Amusing, satirical, and a bit "bawdy," it is interesting to study Zac's deck with the benefit of 20-20 hindsight. For example, Zac selected a computer to represent his "Devil" card -- an astute choice, perhaps, but still rather dated by his use of a mainframe with reel-to-reel tape data storage.
