What do you guys think? Pretty accurate? I can’t remember the last time I drank drank in LA (as in go out to a bar/lounge, not just have a beer or two with dinner…or get tipsy at a wedding 😉 ), but what I do remember are the early last calls and the relatively cheaper drinks. Oh, […]
A Visual Timeline of the Future (As Per Famous Novels)
Books and infographics. How could I resist? Designed by Italian artist Giorgia Lupi, this timeline of future events as predicted by famous novels was originally published in the Sunday supplement of Italian newspaper Corriere Della Sera.

The “Memento” Timeline, Visualized
I was first introduced to the genius of writer and director Christopher Nolan through his 2000 film Memento.
