The Future of Us

The Future of Us, by Jay Asher and Carolyn Macker,  is a good book for people. who enjoy technology and the concept of time travel. It is written from the perspective of two high school seniors in 1996. Josh and Emma have been neighbors and best friends their whole lives, but lately there has been tension between them. Emma gets a new computer and Josh's family gets a special CD-ROM. When he brings it over and they download it, they find themselves looking at their Facebook accounts 15 years in the future. Facebook hasn't been invented yet, though. Every time they log on, their future changes. Carrying the message that what you do now affects your life down the line, this story reveals two characters who are trying to discover themselves and understand what mistakes they are making. I'd recommend this book for ages fourteen and older.
