TNG epi 4.8 #FutureImperfect: Riker waking up 16 years in the future with a son, a captaincy and a wild case of WTF. Or does he? Simple plot, ok acting, GREAT aging makeup and BAD creature makeup (Lord, is the alien bad!). Not transcendant but fun.
My favourite waking-in-the-future story is one of the first: Looking Backward by Edward Bellamy (1888) is a socialist utopia that stands up better than many golden age SF.

I enjoyed the book. I like early science fiction that looks forward to our present day. Bellamy has a utopian view of the future, possibly starry eyed. I like his imagination of a future society in which the goal is for all people to be happy. Love the idea of the pneumatic goods transfer system and the sidewalks with deployable awnings; drawing a mental picture that stayed with me. Not overly scientific, but I still very much enjoyed it.
I was in a model home yesterday and was baffled when I saw the books shelved backwards. I don‘t get it? Does this make the home more stylish? SMH 🤦🏼♀️
Woohoo! *Happy historian dance*
I rage-quit this with a hundred pages left in the book. No one tell my professor because I was supposed to read this for class
Reading this for school and I have to finish it by Friday.....
