Siegel
His work is out of print before they bury him. All the Internet links shorted or discontinued or censored and forgotten. In five hundred forty-nine years nomads exhuming nuts from a cache in the rubble of San Francisco find a five-by-seven pine box containing a heap of rags and bones and a ream of little manifestos. Reverse three hundred twenty-four years: Hydrogen fuel-cell shuttles scurry to the Moon where water harvesting continues and root vegetables and poetry are hoarded by the lucky few. This slim volume about life on Earth before the Mayans’ predictions came true receives rave reviews. It becomes a best seller.
