"ISAAC ASIMOV

Assuming we haven't destroyed ourselves in a nuclear war, there will be 8-10 billion of us on this planet—and widespread hunger. These troubles can be traced back to President Ronald Reagan who smiled and waved too much."

Here is another prediction in the article in terms of what society would be like in 2012 (25 years after the time capsule was buried):

"TIM POWERS

Probate and copyright law will be entirely restructured by 2012 because people will be frozen at death, and there will be electronic means of consulting them. Many attorneys will specialize in advocacy for the dead."

I guess the DNC will make this one happen after all.
