Bula bula! If you've come this far, that means you have found a copy of The Futurist. Congradulations! And thanks to that wonderful (cute) chap at the bookshop, David, for passing them on!
I really wanted this book to be shared by the masses, but wasn't sure - other than posting random chapters and talking about how great it was to everyone I knew (I bought four copies at the bookshop to give to people - I'm not kidding. Ask the clerk there; he'll tell you). Then I had an epiphany. I've always had this fantasy of finding a random book in a cafe somewhere and discovering a letter form it's first owner giving me permission to take it, read it and pass it on. While, hopefully, also giving me a place to discuss the thoughts I had on it and possibly a method of contacting them, however anonymously they keep that.
I decided to be the person who does this with this book, so I took a few of my copies (I bought several more later on from another source), and distributed the among the public. Some are found in cafes, some I lent to librarians or book shop clerks, others I gave away with the pretense of passing it on once finished.
I hope you enjoyed the journey James & Yates took you on. Please feel free to discuss it here.
OR, alternatively, if you feel a need to discuss this, or other novels, even FURTHER with an intelligent group of people (one of which is the author, James P. Othmer), please travel here faster than a 30,000 year old ice cube can melt.
If you feel the need for a recommendation of another great book, or you just really need to send something to a person rather than a collective, you can e-mail me here:
