Summary: Back to the future, Conan style
Review: With a publication date of 1999, "In the Year 2000" is a collection of absurd predictions about what was then the near future. Written by Conan O'Brien and the writers of his "Late Night" TV show, the book is often laugh-out-loud funny.Conan and crew cover a lot of topics with these humorous "prophecies": technological advances, world politics, encounters with extraterrestrial life, changes in the vernacular language, etc. Many different celebrities are satirically skewered: Jodie Foster, the Pope, Bill Clinton, the Dalai Lama, Gerald Ford, Kathie Lee Gifford, etc, etc.--Conan and crew prove themselves truly bipartisan, equal opportunity mockers. If you enjoy Conan's TV routine of the same name, I predict that you will enjoy this book. It's scathing, raunchy, witty, surreal, and a lot of fun.
