Future Americas review by APB
Profile Picture
APB

This collection of short stories about the future includes murder mysteries and descriptions of quaint and peaceful rural homes. But each story makes the reader realize it's hard to peer into the future, no matter how many clues the present may hold. One of the authors provides a glimpse into the future with travelers don't travel into the future, instead they take a step back in time with each year. For instance, travelers step back into the medieval times with its fancy clothing, but the story still has a touch of the future with tour guides and hover cars.
