> Despite dire predictions and mountains of hype, the world failed to end and the Sun rose on the 1st of Janury in 2001.
What is this specifically in reference to? I can only think of Y2K around that time, but in that case the fear was about what happens moving from 1999->2000, not 2000->2001 (due to low number of significant year digits stored in systems). It definitely blends into the rest of the narrative of that year nicely, but also I think I'm missing something?

You’re right. I should have caught that before posting.
And I adjusted that. Thanks for the catch.
