A character called John Titor appeared on an internet forum in the Year 2000 (when else?), claiming to be a visitor from the year 2036. He spent several months chatting to the forum and answering questions about his time period before disappearing entirely. These are some pictures he supplied them with – his time machine, in a 1967 Chevrolet. He said he had been sent back to collect some vintage technology to help debug future machinery, and he brought news of a world which had been torn apart by nuclear war and had reverted to a largely pre-industrial existence. He also brought a critique of our contemporary society.
“I should let you in on a little secret. No one likes you in the future. This time period is looked at as being full of lazy, self-centred, civically ignorant sheep. You eat poisoned food, buy manufactured products no one needs, and turn an uncaring eye away from millions of people suffering and dying all around you.”
