This book contains two parts. In the first part children visit ancient Rome and Athens in a time machine. They experience the life of the people, and they listen to mythological stories narrated with an additional modern twist. The second part deals with life into the not too distant future, incorporating the technologies we have of our time and projecting them into the next century. The book contains tongue-in-check humor and irony, brain teasers, and the origin of our idiomatic expressions. It is recommended for young and more mature adults who want to be entertained in a light-hearted way.
