The Man of the Year Million...

[McTodd]

On Ansible.co.uk, David Langford has this to say about HG's prophetic powers...

The Man of the Future may be very different from ourselves. As long ago as 1893, H.G. Wells imagined "The Man of the Year Million", living in an underground retreat, with a withered, atrophied body but enormous eyes and head, immersed in nutrient fluids. And as we consider the Couch Potato of the Year 2004, living in a darkened room, with withered, atrophied legs but enormous eyes and belly, splashed with nutrient beer ... well, perhaps Wells wasn't that bad a prophet.

Discuss. ;D

Well, actually Wells used War of the Worlds a bit to support his theory of men turning into squids, although he does it in kind a funny way.

We are doing a good job of trying to change Earth to match Mars though....
