a fairly low-resolution black and white monochrome graphic, probably made using MacPaint. at the top is a jagged star-shaped callout area with the label "Doug Peers into the Future", several question marks, an abstract line drawing of a man's face in profile with a moustache (presumably Doug), with a line traced from his eye to a line drawing of a crystal ball. below the star-shaped area is a time series graph: the Y axis is labeled "ART in milliprousts", with the top value numbered at 500, that is, one half of Marcel Proust. the X axis is labeled "TIME in years", and has 5 ticks, the first being "1989" which is "NOW", the next three unlabeled, and the final labeled "2030*" with an asterisk, citing "*H. MORAVEC", which is Hans Moravec, a well-known futurist who predicted in the 1990s that "computers suitable for humanlike robots will appear in the 2020s". The 2030 point has a vertical zigzag line demarcating the time before and after, with a label "COMPUTER-HUMAN EQUIVALENCE". The tick representing circa 2020 is labeled with "DOUG RETIRES". there are two time series lines on the chart, and both are curves: "I.F. STORYMAKING" is roughly a sigmoid, which starts at about 50 milliprousts in the mid 1980s, and curves upward to 300 or so by 2000, reaching just over 500 by 2010 and levelling off. The other time series, "I.F. STORY GENERATION", looks exponential, and remains very low, at only 10 or 20 milliprousts, before climbing increasingly quickly, hitting 100 at 2020, 250 at 2025, and finally crossing the "I.F. STORYTELLING" line at 2030, where it continues upward but is clipped off the top of the graph
