Gifts From 2001 bring a wonderful sense of nostalgia

While it wasn’t quite the Space Odyssey Stanley Kubrick had imagined, 2001 was one of the most memorable years in recent history, albeit for reasons that nobody would ever wish for. September 11 saw the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center fall in New York City following an aerial terrorist attack by Al-Qaeda. US President George Bush would respond by declaring a war on terror, signalling an invasion of Afghanistan.

Elsewhere, Wikipedia launched online and the film adaptation of the first book in J.K. Rowling’s record-breaking series, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, was released in cinemas worldwide.
