About this ebook
Two best friends create a computer that can predict the future. But what they can’t predict is how it will tear their friendship—and society—apart.
“A fantastic page-turner and a future classic.”—Peter Clines, New York Times bestselling author of Paradox Bound
IN DEVELOPMENT AS AN HBO MAX ORIGINAL SERIES
If you had the chance to look one year into the future, would you?
For Ben Boyce and Adhi Chaudry, the answer is unequivocally yes. And they’re betting everything that you’ll say yes, too. Welcome to The Future: a computer that connects to the internet one year from now, so you can see who you’ll be dating, where you’ll be working, even whether or not you’ll be alive in the year to come. By forming a startup to deliver this revolutionary technology to the world, Ben and Adhi have made their wildest, most impossible dream a reality. Once Silicon Valley outsiders, they’re now its hottest commodity.
The device can predict everything perfectly—from stock market spikes and sports scores to political scandals and corporate takeovers—allowing them to chase down success and fame while staying one step ahead of the competition. But the future their device foretells is not the bright one they imagined.
Ambition. Greed. Jealousy. And, perhaps, an apocalypse. The question is . . . can they stop it?
Told through emails, texts, transcripts, and blog posts, this bleeding-edge tech thriller chronicles the costs of innovation and asks how far you’d go to protect the ones you love—even from themselves.

Told through emails, briefings and text messages this story moved quickly. Despite the writing style you still got to know and feel for the two main characters. The twist at the end was a bit too hoaky for me. However, the idea of the novel stuck with me after turning the final page.
