I've always wondered what the future might hold for us all. Not tomorrow or the next day, but the far away future. I can imagine and that imagining takes my characters into futures that are fun and fied with my thoughts on how it might be. It's very cool to be able ot read how they react with the future and how the future reacts with them. In a way it's almost like I really get to go there, and it makes me smile whenever i go back and read what I've written. When I was a teenager, I would dream about how the future would be. I'd draw pictures of what I thought buildings would look like. My big future was the twenty-first century. Even though it didn't turn out quite the way I imagined, it's still pretty cool! I hope that you enjoy my excerpt!
Book Excerpt
Lines of Force: The Weekend Adventures of Andrew Barton
The sign outside of the museum indicated that it would be undergoing routine maintenance and that sections throughout the building would close temporarily throughout the cycle. Andrew and Matt found it interesting that everything was open all of the time, including holidays. Matt loved the fact that he would be able to go out anytime of the day or night and date. Andrew thought about what shift he would have if he lived here, and then realized that his job would be obsolete as smart machines did all of the routine things in life. Most people did technical jobs although there were still doctors who interacted with people. Many stores had greeters and guides that would help you find what you needed should you choose to come see what they had. Most things were purchased via Thought-sets, small units placed in hats or visors that transmitted your thoughts to the appropriate store ordering systems. Even deliveries were done automatically. Andrew wondered how much of this came from his tinkering, but was happy to know that transportation had been changed because of his inventions.
