  1. What a great collection. The one that sends chills down my spine is "Hubertus Gojowczyk, News from the years 1732 – 1733, 1999". I think it's because reading is such a private act, it's jarring to see someone staring back at you. Ironically I was just listening on the radio about how the new e-readers can track your location, what books you've purchased, and can even track what page you are on at any time. Looks like Hubertus had a premonition of things to come.
