We are Ken Jennings and John Roderick. We speak to you from our present, which we can

only assume is your distant past, the turbulent time that was the early 21st century.

Fearing the great cataclysm that will surely befall our civilization, we began this

this is our legacy to you. This is our time capsule. This is the omnibus. Oh, You have accessed entry
