At the end of the book, Joe realizes he is the future, but he has no hope. His desire for human contact and for his loneliness to go away will never be fulfilled. He wants to be able to show people the horrors of war, but he is not allowed to leave the hospital because it is against regulations. If people see the horrors, they will not want to fight, and the people in charge of the war need them. They don't want people to see the future. He isn't even allowed to communicate in the hospital anymore because when he tries, they sedate him. Joe is pointing the gun at the "masters of men" who make people fight. They make other people do the fighting while they watch and are out of harms way. He feels that the only way to end the fighting is to fight back at the men who are planning the war, which is why he points the gun at them.
