Overview

FUTURA, by Michael Laser The year is 2045. An authoritarian president is starting his third term. Protests are severely restricted. Privacy is no longer a right. The teenagers in a New Jersey shore town skirt the new laws recklessly- but their freedom is in jeopardy. Charming Cardo supports himself and his ailing father by selling an illegal app. Conservative Midwestern transplant Bob falls in love, inconveniently, with Danai-an undocumented immigrant from Africa who lives under the constant threat of deportation. Elora, a rebellious artist, attracts a cop's unwanted interest, with disastrous results. More recognizable than the dystopia of Orwell's 1984, Michael Laser's Futura takes aim at the present by envisioning a future that's just a little darker-balancing its dread with comedy and moments of surprising heroism.
