10 Futures

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

10 Futures explores ten possible futures. Sam and Tara are best friends in a future where artificial intelligence organises our lives, and micropets are the latest craze.

They remain best friends even when rationing means cold showers and no internet. Their friendship endures when genetic matching turns asking a girl on a date into a minefield of epic proportions.

But will they still be best friends in a future when a plague wipes out most of humanity? Or a future when the Inquisitor demands Sam to choose one betrayal over another?

Michael Pryor, one of Australia's best authors of speculative fiction, imagines what our next 100 years might be like. Utopia or dystopia? Miracle or catastrophe? Whatever might happen, it's just around the corner.

Which future will be yours?
