Indeed, a couple of years ago I wrote what I think quite a good article on the subject.

I feel I should have read this article at the time, but I am not sure that I did, and it's great, especially the readings of McCaughrean.

I will think about lost pasts. At the moment I'm having a lot of trouble just with the fact that it's 2023.

[edit] I'll always have a fondness for the story as it was set in that liminal lost future, caught between anticipation and reality.

This happened to the kdrama Crash Landing on You (사랑의 불시착, 2019), whose epilogue stretches over several years into a future that by the time I saw the series in the early summer of 2020, was in no way capable of coming to pass.

I am pretty sure that Ben Wheatley and Amy Jump's In the Earth (2021) belongs somewhere in this conversation, even though it's very slightly more on the lost future side of things.
