This Week in the Future, January 3-7, 2011

Four stories from this week on PopSci are immortalized here in Baarbarian’s illustration. Hint: there’s a big rat in one of them.

One of the commenters who correctly identifies all of them will be chosen to win this week’s image on a T-shirt.

Or, if you just can’t wait, you can buy yours here.

Until next time, enjoy our past weekly illustrated roundups here.
