Fictional events
- In an episode of [[Star Trek: The Next Generation]], Data refers to the reunification of Ireland in 2024 as having been achieved through terrorism.
- According to the [[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]] episode "Past Tense", apathy about the well-being of the homeless leads to the establishment of "Sanctuary Districts", essentially prisons for those who are unable to find or hold a job. By 2024, every major city in the United States has such a district, as do many others around the world. In what will come to be known as [[MemoryAlpha:Bell Riots|Bell Riots]], a group of homeless people in San Francisco overthrow the supervisors in their sanctuary district and take several hostages. Thanks to the efforts of one Gabriel Bell, none of the hostages are harmed; however, Bell is killed during a subsequent police raid on the district. His death leads to increased public awareness and the Bell Riots become one of the watershed events of the 21st century, ultimately leading to the foundation of the United Federation of Planets in 2161.
- Also according to "Past Tense", by 2024 Europe is in a state of political turmoil, with many wealthy individuals cancelling trips due to student protests and other upheavals. The episode makes reference to at least two movements involved, the neo-Trotskyists and Gaullists. The United States remains comparatively tranquil, but due to the Bell Riots and other events, a similar state will soon occur there as well.
- In the anime series [[Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex|Stand Alone Complex]] the Laughing Man incident occurs this year.
