After reading the phenomenal book, The Future of Us by Jay Asher and Carolyn Mackler, the characters discover themselves 15 years into the future. The future where they find their very own profiles on Facebook. Facebook still hasn't been invented yet in 1996. The characters became confused and unsure about the situation that they were about to deal with. What was Facebook? What did it mean?
The main character, Emma Nelson just received a computer as a birthday gift from her dad. After her old friend Josh Templeton found out he gave her an Internet C.D ROM. Once Emma tries logging into AOL and creating an account, she is officially logged into Facebook 15 years into the future. The two characters fight together to figure out the truth about this "Facebook" website. They still didn't know that they were about to log onto their futures. The book is told from both point of views from Emma and Josh.
One problem they came across was about if this website they found was real. After searching the Facebook website, the characters were confused and unsure. Was it really their futures? Was it really how their lives would soon be in 15 years? Everything about themselves was on the online website. Their spouses, careers, homes, and status updates. It's all there. Its not at all what they expected. Soon they both discover that obsessing with their future can change the present. Every time Emma clicked the refresh button, the page refreshed and so did her life. Soon they both discover that obsessing with their future can change the present. From living in Columbus,Ohio, then living in London, England; just with the simple click of a button. Once they find out that the website is real, Emma wishes she could change it. She isn't happy with how her life is going to turn out. How is it fair that Josh gets the perfect life, the beautiful wife, and the cutest little kids. Emma doesn't want to believe it, but soon enough all of this Facebook information was going to be real someday. Emma became really nervous when she found out the information on her life in 15 years. Especially, after finding out her best friend Kellan has a daughter that's fourteen years old. Emma is the only one who knows about Kellan, and no one beside herself and Josh can find out about Facebook. If Kellans daughter Lindsay is fourteen like Kellan posted on her Facebook wall, Emma came to conclusion that Kellan is pregnant or soon is going to be. Emma starts asking Kellan questions like "Why did you go to the doctor?" After Emma found out that she just went for a check up, the next day at the Bonfire Party, Emma gave Kellan a sweater and inside the sweater was something that she should use before her and her boyfriend went off. Instead of telling Kellan why she gave it to her, she told her to put her hands in the pockets to keep warm. Emma tried keeping her family and even best friends away from the situation, once she found out the truth about it.
The characters soon learn about their new family, friends, and life 15 years ahead. Even though they didn't want to believe it, everything was going to change. They weren't ready for it. Even though Emma and Josh haven't been talking to each other ever since November, six months ago. At first Josh didn't believe it one bit, but Emma was all for it. She didn't think it was a joke. It end up not being a prank. They got transferred to this new place. The two discover themselves in an entirely different world called Facebook.
