A collection of stories featuring time travel and other forms of high technology
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Gr 6-9--"Be careful what you wish for--you might just get it" could serve as the motto for the six entries in this collection of creepy tales. Each story features a futuristic setting in which a young protagonist falls victim to some form of technological innovation. For example, in "Immortality," sadistic, 15-year-old Chadwick kills to obtain eternal life--but doesn't expect to spend it crushed underneath a building; in "Inner Eyes," rebellious Nema chooses not to "waste time" reading about her new boss's research project, to her regret; in "Future Caller," 31st-century Kasi reaches in vain across time to try to save 20th-century Alicia from a tragic death. The suspenseful plots and believable characters will appeal to readers who appreciate short, scary stories.
