Where Futures End
Where Futures End | Parker Peevyhouse
13 posts | 10 read | 10 to read
Perfect for fans of innovative storytelling, like Marcus Sedgwick's The Ghosts of Heaven and David Mitchell's The Bone Clocks, Where Futures End is a collection of five time-spanning, interconnected novellas that weave a subtly science-fictional web stretching out from the present into the future, presenting eerily plausible possibilities for social media, corporate sponsorship, and humanity, as our world collides with a mysterious alternate universe. Five teens, five futures. Dylan develops a sixth sense that allows him to glimpse another world. Brixney must escape a debtor colony by finding a way to increase the number of hits on her social media feed so she'll attract corporate sponsorship. Epony goes "High Concept" and poses as an otherworldly being to recapture her boyfriend's attention. Reef struggles to survive in a city turned virtual gameboard. And Quinn uncovers the alarming secret that links them all. These are stories about a world that is destroying itself, and about the alternate world that might be its savior. Unless it's just the opposite.

This was a very unusual read. I enjoyed it yet was confused for part of it. Two worlds collided in this unusual book. It jumps through time in order to tell the story. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I have never read a book like this one. Wow. It's about the collision of two worlds, about the advancement of technology, about living even when the world is scary and changing, and about whether or not fate really exists. It's probably the most surreal science fiction I have ever read, and I don't think I could explain it if I tried.

What a great quote for this section of this book! (This section is about a teenage girl and her older brother who are stuck in a debtors colony until they can attract enough people to watch their feeds to make enough advertising money to leave.) BTW, the plot for this book has so far been unlike anything I've seen before. And in a good way

Zelma The synopsis of that one sounds really interesting. 7y
rjsthumbelina So far, it's fascinating! Each section has been about different characters and a different part of the worlds, but I still feel like there is opportunity to connect with the people and with what is happening 7y

It was alright. Nothing totally mind blowing but it wasn't totally boring either. I wish there had been a little more connection between the times to make it clearer.

⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5 First read of the year!! This book was like Black Mirror plus alternate universes plus hints of fantasy and sci-fi, which sounds appealing but there was SO MUCH instalove in every story. I was also really underwhelmed by the ending, where I expected everything to get tied up but I still have so many questions. Overall, this book was entertaining but it seemed to have a case of identity crisis.

So good! A series of connected stories about two universes overlapping and the consequences that follow. Each story happens farther in the future and it was fascinating seeing these events play out. Each character was so well formed. I wish I had a whole book about each. Funny, moving, and well plotted.

I'm really enjoying this book so far. It's Cloud Atlas for teens.

Is there a word for when you find a near future hilarious but also worryingly prescient?

My next pick! I'm usually not a fantasy reader, but this seems intriguing...

TeaStories Picked this one up from the library the other day. It looks interesting! 8y
Coleen I'm loving that cover! 8y
Kaylamburson @TeaStories, it's super interesting so far! The cover looks so much more three dimensional in this picture, @coleen! I love it too! 8y

I totally judge books by their covers. I saw the cover of this and had to pick it up. I had to find out what it about... so far I'm on the fence.
