He comes from an alternative, Utopian 2016 but because he screwed up one little thing, he changed reality and is now forced to live in our 2016, which seems practically dystopian by comparison. But the ten-cent description is: Tom Barren is the world’s worst time traveler. I’m not going to go too deep into the book’s premise because, frankly, the less you know the more you’ll enjoy it. (I mean, it helps that Mastai isn’t exactly a brand-new author he’s an established and successful screenwriter. I’m not often this pleasantly surprised by a new book, let alone one from a debut author, but All Our Wrong Todays is darn near perfect in all the right ways. This was one to read.Īnd from the first page, I was thoroughly invested in the narrator and hooked. A quick chat with fellow GeekDad Jonathan Liu ( who included the book in his weekly Stack Overflow column) confirmed my initial impressions. Then I got an email for Elan Mastai’s All Our Wrong Todays, and it looked way more than halfway interesting. I only have so many hours in the day, so there’s no way I can possibly read everything – even when they look halfway interesting. I get pitched a lot of emails about new books and debut authors. And the best thing about a memoir is it doesn’t even need to make sense.”
