Waiting on Wednesday: WHERE FUTURES END by Parker Peevyhouse

This week's Waiting on Wednesday is an #FAC16 book that I'm super excited about because it bends genres to create something entirely different and unique. I have heard so many good things about this one and I want to share it with all y'all today.

WHERE FUTURES END by Parker Peevyhouse 
Summary:
A collection of five time-spanning, interconnected novellas that weave a subtle science-fictional web that stretches from the present into the future—in a kind of Cloud Atlas for teens—as our world collides with a mysterious alternate universe.

Each of these stories presents a teen trying to find his or her way in unusual circumstances. Five teens, five futures.

Dylan develops a sixth sense that allows him to glimpse another world.

Ten years from now, Brixney must get more hits on her social media feed or risk being stuck in a debtors’ colony.

Thirty years from now, Epony scrubs her entire online profile from the web and goes “High-Concept.”

Sixty years frm now, Reef struggles to survive in a city turned virtual game board.

And more than one hundred years from now, Quinn uncovers the alarming secret that links them all.

Going beyond the usual boundaries of YA fiction, this will appeal to fans of authors—like Marcus Sedgwick, Patrick Ness, Kelly Link, M. T. Anderson, and David Mitchell—who wonder about the future and what the future will bring.

Doesn't this sound amazing?? I am just so excited to read this one! I think if you like science fiction or speculative fiction, this is going to be the one for you. Next week is my giant WoW for the books I'm waiting on that come out in November 2015, so be sure to watch for that!

  1. I don't read enough Science Fiction. Every time I do, I really enjoy it (Stitching Snow, Illuminae). I'll have to check this one out!
