Cosa accadrà domani? E nel resto dei nostri giorni? Saremo felici o infelici? Vivremo a lungo oppure no? Da un lato gli esseri umani guardano all'avvenire come a qualcosa di reale, credono che esistano risposte alle loro domande e vogliono conoscerle, magari interpellando indovini, oracoli, profeti.
