What if you could see how your life would unfold--just by clicking a button? It's 1996, and less than half of all American high school students have ever used the Internet. Emma just got her first computer and an America Online CD-ROM. Josh is her best friend. They power up and log on--and discover ...

The amount of people registered on Facebook is higher than the population of any country. Ever since the internet’s inception, its been affecting our speech and thinking. Popular sites are especially effective at this. The whole ‘intellectual property’ discussion became huge thanks piracy. File shar...

This is one of those books that begins with a great premise: Emma, a teenager in 1996 Pennsylvania, accesses the Internet on her new PC for the first time and somehow is able to access her Facebook account fifteen years in the future. As she explores her future life, she discovers that her changing ...

Knowing what you'll be, 15 years from now, is an awesome thing but somehow scary. But I'm not sure if I'll do what Emma did. I won't even maybe check it for the second time even it's tempting because I don't want to ruin my future. This book is about friendship, "friendzoning" and loyalty. And it sh...

You can read my full review on my blog - The Kiwi Kritique.I did like this book, but it's nothing that I'd read again and I know for sure the character's will be well forgotten once I'm done writing this review. It's not the best book I've ever read, but that's just my opinion. Someone else may to...

In 1996 I was 14 years old. I remember what life was like before the Internet, I remember 'getting' Internet when I was 16 and I remember what a dial-up Internet connection sounded like. So I was incredibly excited to read The Future of Us - pop-culture references from the 1990s are my favourite.T...

This was a nice book. It wasn't as spectacular and dramatic as 13 Reasons Why, it was just nice. The writing was a little bit boring, but I do like the plot and how creative it is. Its 1996, and Emma gets a new computer and CD-ROM. She and her friend Josh use the computer and find themselves on F...

This book was so adorable!I'm not sure how to label it. Obviously there are elements of sci-fi involved, what with seeing the future via Facebook (not that anything on Facebook should be taken as fact) But it was also so real - all the relationship drama, trying to keep friendships together and worr...

Full review also posted here on TotalTeenFictionI grabbed this book at the library having not heard of it before. I was drawn to it because Jay Asher is an author I've been wanting to read, the cover was so cool and when I read the blurb I was completely hooked on the idea! The Future of Us follows ...
