Q: I was wondering if you could comment on some of the clues that Randland (as we call it) seems to be written as a future earth.
A: Time is a wheel. If you look in one direction, you are looking at the past. If you just turn around and look in the other direction, you are looking at the future. The books are set in our future and in our past, depending on which way you look.
