This Week in the Future, September 26-30

This week's Baarbarian illustration is a real dichotomous doozy. New and old, ancient and modern, analog and digital, and knives. And you can win it on a t-shirt, if you're the lucky chosen one.

Want to win this DVD-chomping Baarbarian illustration on a t-shirt? It's easy! The rules: Follow us on Twitter (we're @PopSci) and retweet our This Week in the Future tweet. One of those lucky retweeters will be chosen to receive a custom T-shirt with this week's Baarbarian illustration on it, thus making the winner the envy of their friends, coworkers and everyone else with eyes. (Those who would rather not leave things to chance and just pony up some cash for the t-shirt can do that here.) The stories pictured herein:
