In this far-reaching narrative, Weisman explains how our massive infrastructure would collapse and finally vanish without human presence; what of our everyday stuff may become immortalized as fossils; how copper pipes and wiring would be crushed into mere seams of reddish rock; why some of our earliest buildings might be the last architecture left; and how plastic, bronze sculpture, radio waves, and some man-made molecules may be our most lasting gifts to the universe.

Designer Philippe Starck is a master of modern minimalism and his Veiled Watch ($247) cleverly conceals an analog watch face behind a specially electroplated crystal that looks like a continuation of the stainless steel watch band.

The idea of the contest "A spoon further" appeared in 1998 in the brainy head of a contemporary Yekaterinburg artist Oleg Yelovoy. The essence of it is very simple: to give ordinary aluminum spoons, which can be found in great amounts in obshchepit (network of state public cafes, usually associated with the Soviet times and characterized by low quality food and nondescript table-ware, made of aluminum), to professional jewelers and convince them to make something resembling pieces of art out of these spoons.
