Can I write about the future?

Thanks for the heads up anyway.

Excellent challenge. The dueling glove is smartly felt.

Exploring the space between Alvin Toffler and Franz Kafka might require breaking the rule about following the rules of nature as "presently understood." It is hard to guess, in any imagined stretch of time, whether scarcity will force change or fold stasis into itself.

What's this? I thought you just landed a job within the last 12 months after living on unemployment checks for nearly a year? Get a promotion or find a better gig somewhere else? Just curious.

Sounds like fun! Did I miss it or is there no deadline stated? A deadline is always a good idea for writers. As someone once said, "Everything that's accomplished in the world, is done to avoid writing."

I'm looking forward to the talented writings :)

Meantime, all I have to share is that I once had a Queen album, which had a cover of that robot in your photo link, holding what looked to be Freddie and Brian in its hand.
