A small device, the Predictor, looks like a remote control. It consists of a button and a big green
LED. When you press the button, the light flashes. However, it flashes a second before you click on the button — by receiving a signal a second from the future. Millions of these devices have been sold. The Predictors create a dystopic world by providing evidence that
free will is actually a myth — the future is predetermined and fixed. As a result, people become lethargic and just stop eating entirely. ==See also==
