Summary:
"This
future
history
of the next thirty years, imagined by bestselling author Thomas Harding, is surprising, compelling and disturbingly believable. In 2020, a researcher is shocked to find a set of notebooks detailing the
history
of the next thirty years. Is this a hoax? Or could it be real? The notebooks, written in the year 2050, contain interview transcripts between teenage Billy and Gran Nancy. We learn about the great climate SHOCK, when global temperatures rise much faster than anticipated, resulting in catastrophic consequences for humanity. We learn about a shift away from democracy, toward unelected "ethnarchs" -- heads of corporations who use their access to our personal data to competently run the world. We learn about the giant city towers where most people live, work and play inside -- where it's safe from natural disasters and viral outbreaks. And between these interviews, we learn more about Billy, whose interest in the
history
that has been erased from the official record is causing trouble in 2050. Is it too late to change the past to save the
future
?"--From publisher.
