The Post-Modern Reality of Us

The Future of Us brings the post-modern analyzation of one's personal reality and experience without scientific truth. The two teenagers we follow along in the book are set in the 90s and find a disc that brings them to this strange program called "facebook". With every decision they make, their profiles change. In this scenario there is no scientific or philosophical explanation to what is happening, only their decisions and trials. 

The characters battle with making what they currently want to happen to happen with what is going or supposed to happen. Through this, they attempt to explain reality or rather how such reality and truths can be constructed. There is no understanding, only interpretations of what it means to us individually.
