Hard to say 500 years out. 500 years ago takes us to before Bach's time. If we instead focus on the next 100 or so years:
- The Ministry for The Future, Kim Stanley Robinson (might be seen as an important historical marker of the spread of knowledge about climate change.)
- On the Nature of Daylight, by Max Richter?
- Coco (Pixar Film.)
- The Intouchables (Film)
- Possibly some of Brother Ali's recent discography? (Not sure if will be well known, but I predict a long shelf-life.)
- paulcole 5y agoThis is a wildly niche and specific list. Did you have a specific reason for including these or these just artists/works that you personally enjoy?
- YossarianFrPrez 5y agoGreat question. These are things I personally enjoy, but of the things I like, they generally have a) timeless or cross-culturally relevant messages that are b) relatively accessible. I mean, the OP has posed an impossible question, and I'm prepared to be wrong. But unlike other commentators I don't think that Pokemon will have the same type of timeless appeal as, say, Shakespeare. The trick / hard thing to do is to separate current popularity from "sticking power." For a good illustration of how currently popular things can fade from memory, its worth checking out old best-seller lists (e.g., https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publishers_Weekly_list_of_bestselling_novels_in_the_United_States_in_the_1970s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publishers_Weekly_list_of_best...)
