Countdown to the next Millennium

The next millennium is only a few years away. We're quickly approaching a major historical turning point and moment in the history of Science Fiction.

But when does the millennium actually begin...?

Since there was no calendar year 0, the first year ended on December 31st, 1; the second year ended on December 31st, 2. Thus, the hundredth year ended on December 31st, 100; and the first millennium ended on December 31st, 1000. While 2000 is an impressive number of much more literary and visceral importance (and the object of our countdown), the millennium only truly begins on January 1st, 2001.
