• 1. April 2000 (1952): This satirical political film portrays Austria as still being closely watched over by the Allies even 55 years after the end of World War II and the defeat of Nazi Germany and the Axis, after negotiations for its independence fell through. Austria must prove that it will never again disrupt world peace at the fictitious 'World Court'.

Literature and comics

• 2000 AD (1977–): As the title suggests, this British science-fiction comic series is set in the year 2000, which was in the (slightly) far future when the first issue was published in 1977, but it is now set in the past.
• Golf in the Year 2000 (1892) by J. McCullough: The protagonist, Alexander J. Gibson, falls into a deep sleep in 1892 and wakes up in 2000.

• Looking Backward (1888) by Edward Bellamy: Julian West falls asleep after being hypnotized and wakes up 112 years later to a socialist-Utopian Boston in 2000. This novel predicted some concepts which would later become familiar in modern society, such as Warehouse clubs, credit/Debit cards, and cable telephone.
