THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS THE LIFE YOU’RE “SUPPOSED” TO HAVE You know the future that people in the 1950s imagined we’d have? Well, it happened. In Tom Barren’s 2016, humanity thrives in a techno-utopian paradise of flying cars, moving sidewalks, and moon bases, where avocados never go bad and punk r...
All Our Wrong Todays is the first novel by Elan Mastai, and is receiving serious praise. Well deserved praise in my estimation. Tom Barren is the one who destroyed the universe as he knew it. He went from a semi-utopian world, similar to what we had envisioned in Sci-Fi of the 1950's. Flying cars,...

He tried several jobs and none of them had ever worked out for him. His dad, of course, was a genius. Everything he touched turned into gold (or into the great...
I picked up All Our Wrong Todays because of the idea that our present – our truth – is the dystopia. I figured it would be a refreshing change to the glut of future and/or magical dystopias out there. I didn’t get what I was expecting. What Elan Mastai gave me was better.There is a certain bluntness...
On the surface, All Our Wrong Todays, the debut novel by Elan Mastai is a roller coaster ride of science fantasy with travel through time and place. Below the surface is an inward journey for the main character Tom Barren with philosophical statements on self-discovery, relationships, and life. Eith...
(lousy title, but of the 5 I tried, it was the least lousy) Avery Brooks famously asked, "Where are the flying cars? I was promised flying cars! I don't see any flying cars! Why? Why? Why?" Elan Mastai's book finally provides the answer. Simply put: we had it -- flying cars, routine space flights,...
