Stepan (Season 7)

Writing Challenge:
Imagine it is the year 2495 (the future) and that civilization has somehow invented a new device that allows anyone to retrieve information from the future before the year 2500 (before the far future). Although this new device always accurately predicts the exact details about any event in time, it can only tell users what exactly will happen before the year 2500. A spy technician sent from the far-future is tasked with secretly correcting the code in the device by the year 2500 so then it may continue to function properly until humanity’s extinction. Your challenge is to write a 2000-word classified-style document written from the perspective of the people in the far future who employed the spy, clearly outlining the benefits and impacts of continuing the programming of the device and why it is ultimately decided that the device must remain until humanity’s extinction despite the apparent chaotic, emotional, and existential crises that people face when using the device in the future (2100-2500). Provide compelling case studies that stand for and against the usage of the device.
