Okay, so you’ve been waiting patiently since I mentioned that I’m writing a book to find out what it’s about. Over the last few weeks, I’ve teased you with the title superimposed over obscure transportation-less wastelands. Now I’ve finally worked up the confidence (and word count) to let you in on the secret, the back cover. Here’s what The Future History holds…
In the future, travel is history
In a world where fossil fuels are fast disappearing, an untraveled bookworm hitches a ride with a pair of carbon punks whose nostalgia for the nearly extinct internal combustion engine drives them to the last place where a road trip is still possible, China. But their race to relive the classic road story is thwarted at every turn by the obstacles of an enviropocalyptic dystopia.
Fusing the imaginary voyages of Jules Verne with the introspective journeys of Jack Kerouac, The Future History of Travel is a thought-provoking narrative about the end of the road and what comes next.
Coming soon…
