[edit] 30th century in 20th and 21st century pop culture
Because it is the last century of a millennium, the year 3000 is viewed as a background for a pivotal point in future history. The next turn of the millennium has a special appeal to science fiction writers.
- The comic series Archie Comics occasionally features Archie and his friends in 3000. These stories are always called Archie 3000
- Busted, a British pop group, had a song named Year 3000 in which "not much has changed, but they live underwater". Later on The Jonas Brothers made a remake of that song, which is now played on Radio Disney.
- 2966 is the setting for the story "The Escapist 2966" (included in Michael Chabon Presents the Amazing Adventures of the Escapist, Volume 2. (2004) ISBN 1-59307-172-8.) In this story, written by Stuart Moore and illustrated by Steve Conley, the struggle between good and evil continues, but with aliens and robots joining in, on both sides. One new development will be the creation of robot cats with advanced Artificial Intelligence. Also, the one-thousandth Super Bowl game, Super Bowl M, is scheduled for this year.
Fictitious logo shown at the end of
Futurama episodes
- The TV show Futurama takes place 1000 years in the future with the first episode taking place on Tuesday December 31, 2999 (with a few scenes at the start taking place on the same date in 1999). It then continues into 3000, and subsequently the early 31st century. 20th Century Fox uses a variation of their logo at the end of this show, reading "30th Century Fox Television".
- The Australian TV show The Girl from Tomorrow begins in 3000, and the main character and villain, who is from 2500, travel to 1990. In season 2 of the series, 1990 is replaced by 1992.
- In Doctor Who the 30th century features the decline of the Earth Empire, as seen in the television serial The Mutants and the Virgin New Adventures novel Original Sin. Earth consists of "grey cities linked by grey highways across a grey desert", with the better-off living in floating Overcities (called "Sky Cities" in The Mutants).
- "Year 3000" a song by pop band "Busted" talks about a time machine that takes them to 3000
