future shocks

Dreamed last night that (a la Groundhog Day), I was "sentenced" to live each day in some alternative future. Examples: water became crystallized all over the earth, so there were whole factories devoted to re-liquifying it to drink. Though some people had evolved to not need water. You could interview famous people "virtually," to the point that no one knew anymore whether the person they were talking to was alive or dead/image.
