A hippopotamus is loose in the mainframe. Beyond the cornfields, best friends race their rocket packs through the night. Far from Earth, a manta ray swims past a window. Beneath a vast tree, a librarian scratches the head of a dodo. On Mars, a family settles down to watch the fireworks of a captured comet burning through the sky. Meanwhile, in a basement, a man shapes the destiny of humanity… by changing his socks. The future will be wonderful… and weird!
