This comic made laugh quite a bit on first read through. I didn't really know what to expect they would say the book would be, but I was pleasantly surprised to read the final panel. It makes me wonder how people will perceive us in the future. Because of the pace of advancement in the last 100 years, it is surprisingly hard to predict. This does raise several questions about how much longer we will continue at this rate. I saw a rather interesting (if somewhat far fetched) article in TIME about the theoretical "Singularity", the point at which people develop sentient or pass-human intelligence computers. Once (if) this happens, how will the past be perceived then, a time in which there was only one race?
