The Last of Its Kind

I was told about a book somebody had written in the 1970s about their "past life regressions". About the incarnations they believed they had lived through, and rather confusingly their future reincarnations too.

Life, hundreds of years hence was described as existing in a world of much reduced resources and natural environment. Human population is much reduced, and people live a sparse life, most living communally. Much time is spent slowly repairing damage to the environment.

For all the siliness of the source, this is actually the most likely prediction of the future that I have heard.

I don't know if Elon Musk ever got to Mars.

SPOILER: Elon Musk reincarnates as a lunar tardigrade.

It's what he would have wanted.

Or, what everybody else would want for him, anyway.

Retardigrade?
