Books like Tomorrowland: 10 Stories About The Future

Tomorrowland by Michael Cart is a series of 10 stories of the future, each with a different theme, yet still a collective whole. These 10 visions of "tomorrow" come from the seeds we plant today; they can be dooming or enlightening. In one story everything that is "real" is not. People remain home inside high tech body suits and interact with others via technology; these suits are so high tech that you can hear, taste, and smell. Thus, will the problems of racial discrimination vanish if everyone lives in a virtual world? Will the one you fall in love with only be so because you were computer generated ideal partners? In another story two brothers land on Mars and bond over driving a $400 million dollar land roving vehicle yet faced with the challenge of creating an earth-like ecosystem to help the human race survive. Yet will it in turn destroy the ecosystem of Mars? Is it a risk they are willing to take? These are just two of the burning issues that we currently ask ourselves when projecting the future. The other eight stories will continue to intrigue your pondering of life in the future.The series of short stories is perfect for a young adult who sees large books as too overwhelming as each story is approximately 15 pages long. This book does well with highlighting issues of the future. I recommend it.
