Stories and News No. 1234 We are in the future, friends. We are here, really. I am talking to you, now, on this planet and all others, universally connected. Because that's the beauty of the future, right? There are no more networks, there is only one of them to connect all living creatures. Because there has always been just one... As some of you may know, for a long time I have had the passion of leafing through the pages of history in search of facts that in some way can inspire stories to better understand their meaning.
