Fredric Jameson's meditation on periodization highlights some of the challenges involved in any effort to think the contemporary. This essay argues that the best way to narrate the contemporary is through science fiction and further develops this insight through a reading of the comic book series (1980) and film adaptation (2014) of X-Men: Days of Future Past
