A History of the Future in 100 Objects;

What are the 100 objects that future historians will pick to define our 21st century?

A javelin thrown by an 'enhanced' Paralympian far further than any normal human? Virtual reality interrogation equipment used by police forces? The world's most expensive glass of water, mined from the moons of Mars? The first Rechartered City, thrown open to new citizens to prevent declining populations? Or desire modification drugs that fuel the fastest growing new religion?

A History of the Future in 100 Objects describes a hundred slices of the future of everything, spanning politics, technology, art, religion, and entertainment. Some objects are described by future historians; others through found materials, short stories, or dialogues. All of them show a vision of the future in sharp detail and unparalleled breadth.
