Much of it revolves around the events of one day in 1965 in San Francisco, where a scientist is about to throw a lever on an experimental energy device that will either lead to Tom Barren's perfect world, do nothing, or cause a global apocalypse. That only scratches the surface of what this fast-paced novel is about. (Frank Gehry, do you have something you'd like to tell us?) John is literally plagiarizing Tom's now-destroyed perfect Earth he has become a famous architect by drawing its futuristic buildings from memory. Turns out the two Barrens have been mentally connected all their lives. More specifically, he gets stuck in the head of John Barren, the alternate-universe version of him. Through a series of unfortunate events that include getting an ex-astronaut pregnant, Barren accidentally destroys his utopian world and gets stuck in our darkest timeline instead. Barren is the indolent son of a great scientist in a flying car-filled, there's-my-jetpack version of 2016. All Our Wrong Todays is the endearing transdimensional tale of Tom Barren. I'm pleased to report that the hope lives up to the hype. This book is the fastest sci-fi thriller you'll ever read
