NOTES

Follow the Ebb and Flow of the Tides of Love - and Lust - Over an Epic Journey of Two Thousand Years. Billy and Harry are human guinea pigs, sent into futurity by Professor Slagoscar's time projector. They must survive threats of injury, death - and considerable embarrassment - as they are plunged into a series of futures, each more bizarre than the last. 2050 A.D. - Sex, lies and surveillance... 2250 A.D. - Men dress up while women wear the pants... 2500 A.D. - Billy must wear feminine garments, just to prove that he's a man... 2700 A.D. - A love triangle between a man, a woman and a talking ape - 3000 A.D. - When intelligent animals hunt and humans are on the menu! 3500 A.D. - Harry stumbles into a 'domestic arrangement' between a woman and a waistcoat-wearing tomcat... 3700 A.D. - Androids available for every need and purpose, even the most intimate... 3710 A.D. - Can love survive the death rays of rebel robots? 4000 A.D. - Cave women hunt for men... but do they want sex or food? Will humanity survive the destructive politics of gender; repeated economic collapses; genetic engineering gone wrong; the android revolt; wars waged with weapons of mass destruction; and civilisations' cycles of creation and destruction? And in all that vastness of two thousand years of deep time, will Billy ever fulfill his quest - to find a beautiful woman to love, and a surviving bottle of scotch?
