A random internet search brought us to this kinda cool poster from artist Steve Thomas. It's a retro-futuristic advert for the World's Fair in 2474 (we guess) that celebrates Shanghai's "Five Centuries of Progress." We suppose that means the 2010 thingy we're hosting goes OK. Ironically, the Pudong skyline used to represent the future in the poster is already the old Pudong skyline. The best part: Entry to the World's Fair is only four credits. And children get in for a half credit! We can't wait until 2474.
A large print of the poster is $23.95 ... and the Christmas shopping season officially starts tomorrow. A whole bunch of other Steve Thomas items are available here, as well.
A big (and watermarked) version of the poster is after the jump.

Dear Santa,
I want this.

After the economic crash of 2278, all earth currencies were abandoned in favour of one world currency, the Credit, which would be printed at and controlled from the World financial capital of Abuja, Nigeria. The exchange rate upon the abolition of the RMB was 8,000RMB to 1 credit. Can you wait now?
Writing future history is fun :)
That's still very affordable to me since in the future I make RMB 3 million and have 2,000 people working under me.
The Huang Pu still looks like crap.

Where is John Connor in all of this. Did the humans finally win? Loving the ant-sized flying bus...
