Part 5: History



Our wander downtown was probably the most familiar part of my time in the year 2030. I had lived in Europe, so I knew the look and feel of a pedestrianized town centre—and I liked them. I liked the new downtown Vancouver, too, with its courtyard cafés, strolling musicians and living statues. Some things don’t change much once you’ve found a winning formula. No homeless people, I noticed—I’d have to learn about that on another trip.



When our hour was up, we used an elevator to go to the top of one of Vancouver’s tallest buildings, and Johanna led me down a few corridors, past a reception desk where they were expecting us, and into the office of one John Michael Williams, CEO of a big mindware company who had, as Johanna explained on the way up, been a cabinet minister in the government of BC at the time when everything went crazy, and the big changes started to happen.



“How do you know him?” I asked.
