Planet of the Preachers

You are kidnapped and forced into a time machine then transported 3,000 years into the future to discover the world is a nuclear wastland, a desert with the occasional landmark you recognise; the Millennium Stadium, the Eiffel Tower, the Statue of Liberty and the Ricoh Arena.

There are no clues to humanity's fate though a puzzle is presented to us in the shape of Manics album covers, each of the famous landmarks has a Manics album cover clearly painted upon it.

What is the meaning of this and what are the philosophical connotations?

You drop to your knees and start to cry as you recognise the album cover for Generation Terrorists at the main gates of the Millennium Stadium. It starts a strange nostalgic series of memories and you stare into space remembering your childhood.......
