Meyers the futurist was finally done speaking for this leg of his book tour. The sun was setting far in the distance, and the sky was darkening quickly.

All those reporters with their tedious questions, Meyers thought. I just hope everyone forgets the interview in 10 years so I can sell the same points in the sequel.

Meyers was in an unfamiliar town, Knoxville Tenessee, so he as he walked out of the bookstore had to check his phone for the directions to the airport.

“You have GOT to me kidding me, the airport is practically in another town!” he exclaimed to himself. Meyers had travelled to glimmering metropolises and ancient ruins, he had written an entire book full of predictions of the future. But he didn’t reflect on any of that when he was surprised by the local cartography.

When Meyers' Uber finally arrived, he threw his suitcase in the unlit trunk.
