# The Man from 2062

> From November 14 to 22, 2010, a person claiming to have come from 2062 for a "secret investigation" appeared on the occult board of the Japanese message board 2channel and answered questions. An archive of all 63 of his posts, with the questions he answered and the surrounding exchanges, translated into English.

## About the data

- The original Japanese posts (name, mail field, date, ID, body) are included without modification. In JSON they are in `original`.
- English translations, topic titles, tags, summaries and definitive statements (parts that assert facts about the future) are editorial notes by the site editor, not part of the original posts. In JSON they are in `annotations` (translations in `annotations.translations.en`).
- English translations exist for all posts by the future person and all posts he responded to. Other posts are in Japanese only.
- The authenticity of the posts has not been verified.
- A post is uniquely identified by its thread key and post number (e.g. post 829 in thread 1288004419).

## Source data

- The threads' raw DAT data (the raw text logs the board served to dedicated 2channel reader apps, before HTML formatting; Shift_JIS, unmodified), obtained and preserved in the 2010s. The 2ch.net of that time no longer exists and the logs have been lost from the web, so this data is not available anywhere else online.
