What I'm Reading: "The Future Shock" - An Epic Prank And Alternate Reality Game... For One Man...
Ever heard of a good prank? How about a perfect, epic prank?
Have a look at Kolin Pope. He was like any other gaming-loving teen until someone came to his doorstep, claiming that he was from the future...
"The Future Shock" tells a story of an epic prank, 3 years in the making. It started simple enough when a group of guys decided to look up the details of an online user named "Velocity Gnome", who, like everyone else, has left all his details about him online. They decided to make an entire mythology about his online alias and deliver him a scrapbook "from the future" about his heroic life.
But it didn't end there. The entire thing grew into an adventure that had him sent packing on a plane to save the future, and even grew even more. How much more did it grow? Does the phrase "Rock Opera" say anything to you?
If you have the time, you need to check out the full reading at http://www.thefutureshock.com/. It's just completely epic on what these guys put this one singluar person through for three years...
