How would you like to see your future?  In the book The Future of Us by Jay Asher and Carolyn Mackler, that is exactly what Josh and Emma are able to do.  It’s 1996 and Josh’s family recieves an AOL CD-Rom in the mail and takes it over to his friend Emma’s house, who lives next door, so that she can install it on her new computer.  When they sign in they are logged in to Facebook, but Facebook has not been invented yet.  Josh and Emma are able to see themselves fifteen years into the future.  Everytime they hit refresh, they learn something new about their future selves through each status update.  They are forced to face things that they are doing right and wrong and how that affects their future.  This was an extremely fun read!  It was quite funny to be reminded of life in the 90’s.  As a student in the 21st century, you will surprised to see how different life was during this time period. 

Happy Reading!
