The Future of Us by Jay Asher & Carolyn Mackler

What an interesting concept for a book.  This takes place in 1996, when less than 1/2 of all American high school students had EVER used the internet.  Emma's father gives her a computer and her best friend Josh gives her a CD-ROM (those shiny discs we used to have to put into the computer to load stuff) to download America online.  This is where Emma discovers herself and her friends on Facebook.  WHAT?? Facebook was not invented till 2004.  What Emma realizes is that she is seeing her life 15 years in the future.  Does she like what she sees? Will she try to change what she sees?  I guess you are going to have to read the book!
