This Week In The Future, October 22-26, 2012 Baarbarian
In the future, a strange entertainment cube will cause us to hallucinate yawning puppies and T-rexes. (The tightrope-walking robots on TV will be real, though.)
Want to win this dreamy Baarbarian illustration on a T-shirt? It's easy! The rules: Follow us on Twitter (we're @PopSci) and retweet our This Week in the Future tweet. One of those lucky retweeters will be chosen to receive a custom T-shirt with this week's Baarbarian illustration on it, thus making the winner the envy of friends, coworkers and everyone else with eyes.
