Book Description
During the ominous year of 2012, a group of writers got together to pen a book of fiction on an optimistic theme: the future. Edited by the bloggers of “The Tangential,” this collection of stories goes so far into the future that some characters don’t even know who the Spice Girls are. Prisoners nap to Baby Beethoven, dogs enjoy hang-gliding sessions, and Funyuns become an essential part of foreplay. As worlds and faiths crumble, we see just how different life could be.
