Perspective: The Future Historian · Tactile
The cold, stiff starch of my detachable collar chafes my neck as I run a thumb over the jagged, cold-rolled steel of a new Erector Set girder. This industrial miniature feels like a premonition of the skyscrapers soon to dominate the skyline, a tactile blueprint for a century of iron. I set the metal aside to glance at the gazette, noting the grim update of **;=L'.? ::4. h-** through the ink-stained newsprint. It feels as though we are all drifting toward a geopolitical **no man's land**, trading the soft wool of the past for a future forged in grease and gears.
