Through a bizarre anomaly in the space-time continuum, I received the following email in my in-box. It's dated March 30, 2010, so it's from the future. Since what's being discussed hasn't happened yet, I can't, of course, vouch for its authenticity, but the Internet routing and DNS server codes all seem accurate. I'm going ahead and posting it because this filmmaker's thinking is interesting, but I'm redacting his name and the name of his film so as to protect his privacy. -- S.M.

Dear Friend,
