Loading... The Future of Usby Jay Asher (Author), Carolyn Mackler (Author)
Alternating perspectives with multiple authors = awesome! This is about best friends who are 16 in 1996 and see their future Facebook profiles from today. I was 16 in 1996! I totally remember sitting around on AOL with my best friend thinking about our futures. It was almost like a trip down memory lane, but there were some parts where they tried to tweak their futures... very interesting read. (  ) heike6 | May 2, 2013 |  I had high hopes for this one because I really enjoyed "Thirteen Reasons Why." The premise is great but I just wasn't invested in the characters. Maybe I'm too far from my teenage years, but this read more like a Disney Family Channel or Jr. Lifetime movie. Meh. (  ) Cather00 | Apr 27, 2013 | I absolutely loved this book. From cover to cover. It made me think of what my life would have been like if I had the incite that Emma and Josh were given in this book. Just the concept of being able to change your future by simply spilling water on a rug is amazing to me. This was a very quick read for me and I connected with the characters so quickly. This book gets 5 out of 5 stars. The cover is absolutely amazing. The picture is made out of 0 and 1's, which to me was binary, to others it might just be numbers. This book teaches you to live in the moment and not worry so much about what the future holds. (  ) rigormorti | Apr 17, 2013 | Sweet and predictable (are Emma and Josh REALLY not going to hook up by the end of the story?), but an intriguing and thought-provoking premise. (  ) KimJD | Apr 8, 2013 | Read from December 10 to 11, 2011 Emma and Josh are teenagers in 1996 (I was also kind of a teen in '96) and through the magic of time travel and the Internet, they stumble upon Facebook 15 years in the future. They quickly learn that any tiny action in the present can have a huge impact on their future. Yes, the writing was great, the story was fun, but the pokes at people that share every detail of their lives on Facebook and the small reminders of my teenaged years were awesome (I mean, YM?! I'd forgotten all about it). ( ) melissarochelle | Apr 6, 2013 | no reviews | add a review
No descriptions found. It's 1996, and less than half of all American high school students have ever used the Internet. Emma just got her first computer and Josh is her best friend. They power up and log on--and discover themselves on Facebook, fifteen years in the future. Everybody wonders what their destiny will be. Josh and Emma are about to find out.… (more) |
