Description
โA novel about time travel has no right to be this engaging. A novel this engaging has no right to be this smart. And a novel this smart has no right to be this funny. Or insightful. Or immersive. Basically, this novel has no right to exist.โ โJonathan Tropper, New York Times bestselling author of This Is Where I Leave You and One Last Thing Before I GoโOut of this world.โ โAssociated Press
"A page-turning delight." โMaria Semple, author of Today Will Be Different and Whereโd You Go, Bernadette
You know the future that people in the 1950s imagined weโd have? Well, it happened. In Tom Barrenโs 2016, humanity thrives in a techno-utopian paradise of flying cars, moving sidewalks, and moon bases, where avocados never go bad and punk rock never existed...because it wasnโt necessary.
Except Tom just canโt seem to find his place in this dazzling, idealistic world, and thatโs before his life gets turned upside down. Utterly blindsided by an accident of fate, Tom makes a rash decision that drastically changes not only his own life but the very fabric of the universe itself. In a time-travel mishap, Tom finds himself stranded in our 2016, what we think of as the real world. For Tom, our normal reality seems like a dystopian wasteland.
But when he discovers wonderfully unexpected versions of his family, his career, andโmaybe, just maybeโhis soul mate, Tom has a decision to make. Does he fix the flow of history, bringing his utopian universe back into existence, or does he try to forge a new life in our messy, unpredictable reality? Tomโs search for the answer takes him across countries, continents, and timelines in a quest to figure out, finally, who he really is and what his futureโour futureโis supposed to be.
All Our Wrong Todays is about the versions of ourselves that we shed and grow into over time. It is a story of friendship and family, of unexpected journeys and alternate paths, and of love in its multitude of forms. Filled with humor and heart, and saturated with insight and intelligence and a mind-bending talent for invention, this novel signals the arrival of a major talent. ISBN:9780718184087
