Then Again: The Third Centiaeon
Philip
Jose Farmer’s 1973 novel The Stone God Awakens
is set on Earth, twenty million years after the twentieth century. It takes
place in daylight, so the parking of the planet in orbit around another star,
mentioned in Planet From Nowhere,
must have taken place by this point if this is to be reconciled with Doctor Who
Narrative (but have taken place by Earth
in any case).
This
is approximately as far in the future as the evolution of early ostriches was,
in the past.

space. Clearly a time when Tellurians and Cybermen have spread across the
universe and fought each other to mutual near-extinction will have to be a long
way in the future, but still has to be “aeons” before Where Were You.
This is
approximately as far in the future as the Hawai’i archipelago emerging from the
Pacific was, in the past.

Ryan, Yaz
