“So what is all this shit?”

“They’re photographs of famous people. They used to write their names on them then give them out at special events.”

“Why did they write their names on them?”

“As far as I can tell it was to stop people forgetting who they were.”

“Who are these people anyway?”

“They’re all early 21st century celebrities. So far I’ve only been able to get details for a few of them. This woman, for example. She was the lead actress in a popular science fiction show. She played a space fighter pilot who used to be a man.”

“Hmm. What about this guy here?”

“As far as I can tell he was the most popular out of all of them.”

“What was he famous for?”

“He was a convicted rapist who once bit someone’s ear off.”
