From 2053

This is a series of reports from the year 2053 onwards. The writer is Mustafa Acungil from Turkey, telling from the perspective of a character called Kamil Asma from 2053 and beyond.

Hi there. You don’t know me, because I am not yet in existance. I mean, while you are reading these words, I am not yet... I am confused myself too. I don’t happen to be much experienced in technology or such things...

But there are so few people that are still able to write. Especially the old style of writing, the style that you are accustomed to… The short messages came first, in your age... Then the communication types that used so different media in the social internet networks... Pictures, and films, and such... Most of the people forgot all about writing. The ability of reading is also getting more out of demand every day.

All the same text is still everything. Ad texts, publications, propaganda texts, program texts, audio books... All and more need text.

If my limited idea of your times is accurate, it would be very hard to be a prominent writer in your times for me. To find my place with all the competition, to afford my life style with the cheap prices of a skill supplied by abundance… It wouldn’t be easy. I am not highly skilled. I am just able to write, that is all. Maybe some storytelling, too.



This first text, as in the first word, is a ‘hi’ thing.

Someone from your world, called Mustafa Acungil, has got into contact with my agent somehow. I get that he has accomplished this while elaborating on scenarios, stories, oracle kind of issues. It is not time travel; in 2053 time travel is still science fiction!

I cannot reach to your time. It is more like, Mustafa reaching here. Only a mind connection… Maybe I will write about it someday, in our world some part of thinking is done by the writer herself, but most part is done by the agency. So Mustafa has got into contact with my agency’s frequency first, and then mine. I sometimes feel Mustafa in my mind, and if I type at those times –the old style typing with keyboard an all- he can feel what I am typing. If you are able to read these, that is how.

My kind of work is expensive in my world. A five hundred word text would be expensive for you normally. But Mustafa has solved that problem somehow with my agency. I don’t know how, but they informed me not to bother about the payment issue.



Maybe, as Mustafa perceives me, I am only a character in his mind. He had a wish to write on future for some time. When he scored on Turkiye Information (and Communication) Society’s Science Fiction Contest, he dared begin. In order to write on daily life of the future, he reached me as a character from future. Or created me in his mind…

What does he consider to give you with my help? Maybe what love is in 2053... How has computer and computing evolved… The change in the velocity of technological change… Again new anew world orders…

Kamil Asma is yet to be. He is yet to be in your world. Maybe he is there in some other times in some other worlds. But I am a ‘Kamil Asma’ from 2053.

It will be hard to tell you the story of my times. It is impossible for me to know what you will find strange or impossible or plain lie. I trust Mustafa for this. As he has been able to get into the mind of Kamil Asma, he will be able to present what he gets to you in an acceptable manner; however that will be.

I am not sure how good or sturdy a connection, even how reliable a connection he has with my time. Let’s see how the coming days will act for us!
