synopsis
Cosmonaut Ijon Tichy attends the Eight Futurological Conference, held in a third world resort hotel. While delegates discuss the future, a revolution rages outside the hotel. Ijon is injured and wakes up in the year 2039 and a future nobody predicted. The only science fiction story I am aware of which includes a Linotronics typesetting machine as a character.
