[racket] Using Futures

(Nothing about futures. But may I recommend a nice and simple 'optimization': 

 (cond 
    [(= 1 (length values)) ...]

adds quite some complexity to a recursive function over a list. 
I'd use 

  (empty? (rest values))

instead. 

Also, I assume that you will protect your function with a 
contract or a main function.
