My anxiously awaited title this week is:

From Goodreads:
It's 1996, and less than half of all American high school students have ever used the Internet.
Emma just got her first computer and an America Online CD-ROM.
Josh is her best friend. They power up and log on--and discover themselves on Facebook, fifteen years in the future.
Everybody wonders what their Destiny will be. Josh and Emma are about to find out.

I think the reason this story's premise resonates so much with me is because this could be my story. In 1996 I got my first computer and logged onto the Internet for the first time. Now in 2011 I am a digital citizen, on Facebook regularly and consulting the Internet for just about every life decision. I am dying to read how this story plays out.
I'm with you on this one- the premise sounds awesome! I've heard some mixed reactions to the book itself, but I personally cannot wait to read it.
ReplyDeleteThe book summary makes me laugh, though... I was one of those early adopters of the Internet, online in 1992 or 93, I think. By 1996, I was totally addicted. LOL, geek...
Wow Allison! 1992? I didn't know what the Internet was until probably late 1995! You were definitely ahead of the curve.
ReplyDeleteOmg, this book sounds awesome! I remember getting my first computer back in the 90's, and having AOL. That's how I met my hubby! Must add this to my list!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for this one. Jay Asher is a brillant writer. This sounds so interesting. Here's my WOW:

Emily, it was just revealed today.
ReplyDeleteThis was my W.O.W. recently but at least you have cover art to go with yours. I thought Thirteen Reasons Why was a very well-written and interesting book so I'm waiting to see what he (and Carolyn Mackler) do with this fun turn of events. Here's what I've chosen for this week to "wait on": http://thereaderandthebook.blogspot.com/2011/07/waiting-on-wednesday.html
ReplyDeleteI got this one at ALA! I'm excited to read it.
ReplyDeletePlease check out my WOW.
