Was just thinking about fiction books that portray not just the future, but also the future of *that* future. The two that come to mind are Cloud Atlas and The Three-Body Problem.

Time and history are never finished, they just keep going and going and going…

@tinmanic I'd cite Olaf Stapledon's Last and First Men as the quintessential example of that.

@AndyHat Interesting!

I guess Lord of the Rings sort of does that too, although the past as opposed to the future.
