The Third Millennium: A History of the World AD 2000-3000 is a 1985 book by Brian Stableford and David Langford. It is a fictional historical account, from the perspective of the year 3000, giving a future history of humanity and its technological and sociological developments.
Some of the developments mentioned include:
As this book was written in the 1980s, some predictions for the near future were off - for example, the Soviet Union was predicted to exist as late as the year 2800.
Stableford commented in a 2001 interview that a number of his stories were set in updated versions of the future history imagined in The Third Millennium, such as the story "...And He Not Busy Being Born", the novellas Les Fleurs du Mall, Inherit the Earth, and Mortimer Gray's History of Death, as well as the novels of his Emortality series, four of which were expanded versions of the previously-mentioned stories.
