The Future Is Yours
by Dan Frey
Ahoy there me mateys! I received this sci-fi eARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. So here be me honest musings . . .
This book just did not work for me. I gave it a good whirl and actually finished it but was ultimately very disappointed. The main premise is that two best friends have a start up company called The Future where they have a device that can pull internet data from one year in the future. The story is told using emails, texts, articles, and transcripts.
I did like the format. But I read this book wanting to know how the device was used in a practical sense. I was not satisfied with how it works or evolves. I found one of the main characters, Ben, to be beyond horrible as a person and I almost stopped reading half-way through because of it. Frankly his best friend and wife deserve better. The subplot involving the two of them was irksome though. Plus that ending was awful and cheesy.
I do think this book can find a good readership. I just wasn't in that group. Arrr!
