A wild story of female friendship, language, and power, from France to colonial America to the moon, from 1775 to this very moment: a historical novel like no other.
Dazzlingly inventive, hilarious, supermodern, and blindingly bright, Adam Thirlwell\'s The Future Future follows one woman on an urgently contemporary quest to clear her name and change the world..
As France moves through its revolutions and the earth whirls around the sun, Celine and her young friends band together against evil and history in search of justice, truth, and beauty.
It\'s a world ruled by men, all of whom are high on genocide, colonial expansion, forest redevelopment, political theory, violence against women and, above all, language.
This is a universe of saturation and corruption, of lavish parties and private salons, of tulle and satin and sex, but also of revolution and resistance.
And Celine watches as her name becomes a celebrity symbol for everything rotten in the world.
All these stories are lies, but the public loves them--spreading them like a plague.
And somewhere men are inventing stories about her--about her affairs, her sexuality, her orgies and addictions and assignations.
Her parents are elsewhere.
Her husband is mostly absent.
It\'s the eighteenth century, and Celine is in trouble.
