Home / The Man Who Saw the Future
Consider one morning, and you find yourself in a completely alien world - not a different planet, for it is still this world as far as you can see, and you are still among people, but everything is so different, so completely alien. From the clothes they wear to the language they speak, from their customs, to their technology, which borders on sorcery and magic.
It is this thought experiment that forms the basis of Hamilton's classic 'The Man Who Saw The Future,' which sees a 15th century Frenchman plucked and dropped into 20th century modernity. A pioneer of science fiction writing, and hugely entertaining, this short story is still recommended to all.
