When a 12-year-old boy finds himself in a glass machine chamber, he is excited to see what the future holds. But when looking upon the future for the first time, he wished he hadn't come at all. As each day went by, he faced the extinction of many species, the least humaneness he could ever feel in human beings-more synthetic than organic. He sees the future not just as an unimaginable world, but as a world where no one could live. In the end, he returns to the past horrified and panicked-stricken. If we do not act now, there is no future. The future is now!
