The Future for Curious People Gregory Sherl Unabridged,unabridged; 9.25 Hours edition

Meet Evelyn and Godfrey. Evelyn is breaking up with her boyfriend, who?s passing out advertisements for his band on a snowy street corner in Baltimore. She?s seen their dismal future together at Dr. Chin?s office: she and her boyfriend, both many years older, singing ?Happy Birthday? to a Chihuahua and arguing about cheese. She hopes for more. Meanwhile, Godfrey is proposing to his girlfriend, Madge, who?s not quite willing to take that leap; she wants to see their future together first?just to be sure they?re meant for each other.

The Future for Curious People follows Evelyn and Godfrey?s soon-to-be-entwined lives, set in motion by the fabulist premise of a world with envisionists like Dr. Chin. In struggling with their pasts and possible futures, the characters encounter the mysteries of sorrow, love, death, and fate. It?s a story that will capture you with its brightness, its hopefulness, its anxious twists and turns. It is a love story that is ultimately a statement about happiness and how to accept our fleeting existence.
