“As a child, I was one of those who buried treasures in jars, with the idea that someone, some day, might come along and dig them up....That is what the Future Library is like, in part: it will contain fragments of lives that were once lived, and that are now the past. But all writing is a method of preserving and transmitting the human voice.” 







In Daily News, Margaret Atwood will be the first of one hundred writers to contribute a manuscript to the Future Library, which will collect one hundred stories that will not be revealed or read until 2114.
