Vitaly Dubogrei, aka dubikvit, one of the best bloggers writing on the topic of cinema, analyzed the fantastic book by Kir Bulychev "A Hundred years ahead", based on which the legendary film "Guest from the Future" was shot. For many, the love of fiction began with them. And it is especially interesting in this book to read what the future looks like through the eyes of a boy from 1976 — Kolya, who got into the future on a randomly discovered time machine. Let's take a walk through the future of Alice Selezneva.

So, after Kolya realized that he was in the future, he went for a walk in Moscow in 2082. Let's skip the conversation with Grandfather Pavel, it's difficult to learn anything about the future from it.

Let's pay attention only to its end. Here is a quote from the text:

—Let's read the newspaper," the old man said.

The balloon soared into the air and went to look for other readers.

Kolya glanced sideways at the old man, who pressed some button on the side of the cigarette case, the cigarette case turned into a multi-colored screen, and various frames ran across it. It was inconvenient for Kolya to look from the side, he only heard a melodious female voice say:

After escaping from the old man, Kolya got to the station to the young biologists, where he tasted mango and bagels from a tree that grew at the speed of Aldebaran plants. It seems that in 2082, genetically modified plants do not frighten anyone.

From biologists, Kolya got to the construction site of the future and watched the construction (and even participated in it a little) of a new house. A wonderful technology of rapid construction, when a reinforced frame is first erected, and then walls are grown from coral bacteria along the reinforcement. The disadvantage is architecture.

Let's move on to the transport system of Moscow of the future. Public transport is represented by wonderful teleport buses, i.e. buses do not go anywhere themselves. These are stationary stations installed in different parts of the city (and possibly the world), between which there is an instantaneous movement of the passenger (a kind of zero-transition). Very convenient, and most importantly, fast mode of transport. But not without drawbacks: buses are tied to certain points — stations, stops in our understanding.
