THE premise of this book for teens is an intriguing one.
Pryor has imagined the same two characters, best friends Sam and Tara, thrust into 10 very different possible futures.
He looks at how they would react to food shortages, climate change, war, technologies, changed social structures and some fundamental shifts in how people deal with each other.
Artificial intelligence can't be discerned from human intelligence. Technology has gone backwards and everyone must work on small farming collectives.
One sinister view of the future sees the world run by religious zealots, while another sees us under threat from a foreign power.
