2098
Late twenty-first century
2098 is a year in the 21st century, rarely referenced except in science fiction, long-range planning documents, or discussions of distant future scenarios: By 2098, climate models project significant sea level rise.
Like other far-future years, it serves as shorthand for a time beyond most living people's lifespans.
