Description
Decades after a death which he can’t remember – or centuries after that death, or millennia – Perry Doran wakes up to be worshiped; or ignored; or pursued; or celebrated.
-----
A work of multiple alternate realities. After The Torpedo, and The Video Message chapters, the stories are largely freestanding. (If you're new to Royal Road -- scroll down further, below this list here, for the links!)

- Brian HemingRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0A man wakes up in a future changed beyond all recognition. Then, a chapter or more later, wakes up in an alternate one.
A nice serialized exploration of the traveler-to-the-future trope, and all the different ways it comes out. The visions of the future are well thought out takes on the trope, delivering sufficient culture shock without being over-the-top cheesy.
