Tämä ei ole Sienipasta. Tämä on ruokaa aivoille. Pahda pankojauhot pannulla. Lisää hienonetut saksan pähkinät, öljy, ravintohiiva hiutaleet ja mausteet. Paista kuutioidut sienet ja sipulit. Lisää tomatimurskaja pyree, maustajat ja soija. Sekoita kastike keitettyyn vastaan. Tiimeistellä pähkinä murulla. Elämä on ruokaa. S. Market.

Forward. Elsewhere I have set down, for whatever interest they have in this the twenty fifth century. My personal recollections of the twentieth century. Now it occurs to me that my memoirs of the twenty fifth century may have an equal interest five hundred years from now.
Unknown 1:37
Particularly in view of that unique perspective from which I have seen the twenty-fifth century, entering it as I did in one leap across a gap of four hundred and ninety-two years. This statement requires elucidation. There are still many in the world who are not familiar with my unique experience. Five centuries from now there may be many more. Especially if civilization is fated to endure any worse convulsions than those which have occurred between nineteen seventy five AD and the present time. I should state, therefore, that I, Anthony Rogers, am, so far as I know, The only man alive whose normal span of eighty one years of life has been spread over a period of five hundred and seventy three years.
Unknown 2:17
To be precise, I lived the first twenty nine years of my life between eighteen ninety eight and nineteen twenty seven. The other fifty two since twenty four nineteen. The gap between these two, a period of nearly five hundred years, I spent in a state of suspended animation. free from the ravages of catabolic processes, and without any apparent effect on my physical or mental faculties.

To find Americans a hunted race in their own land, hiding in the dense forests that covered the shattered and levelled ruins of their once magnificent cities. Desperately preserving and struggling to develop in their secret retreats the remnants of their culture and science. and the undying flame of their sturdy independence. World domination was in the hands of Mongolians. And the centre of world power lay in inland China. with Americans one of the few races of mankind unsubdued.
Unknown 3:49
and it must be admitted, in fairness to the truth, not worth the trouble of subduing in the eyes of the Han heirlords who ruled North America as titular tributaries of the most magnificent.

How does the narrator introduce his long‑sleep experience and the post‑apocalyptic world?

Unknown 3:59
for they needed not the forests in which the Americans lived, nor the resources of the vast territories these forests covered. With the perfection to which they had reduced the synthetic production of necessities and luxuries, their remarkable developments of scientific processes and mechanical accomplishment of work
