The Future of Us

by Jay Asher and Carolyn Mackler

What if you could see how your life would unfold--just by clicking a button?

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 an America Online CD-ROM. 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.

I really enjoyed this one. All the throwback references made me giggle, because I remember getting those CDs in the mail and switching ISPs just to keep dialing up for free. >. I also liked the overall concept, and how these glimpses of the future made these two reflect on their present.
