Summary: Exponential Storytelling
Review: An extended, more adult version of Young Adult novel "Stuck in Fast Forward" (1999), Damien Broderick, famous for his book "The Spike", continues with the theory of the Singularity with fellow author Rory Barnes.

Natalie's dad has built a time machine, which can hurtle his family forward in time exponentially, first intended to escape a plague. THey arrive one year later, with Natalie's left-behind sister Suzannah, now a survivalist trying to keep away from the Quarantine Police "known as the Pox Cops", she rejoins the family and they jump forward again, now 15 years later into the future, then over 200 years in the future, then 3000 years, 50000 years and so on and so forth. As they continue technology grows more powerful, warping the world around it, creating an environment weirder and weirder. The problem is that eventually the universe is said to collapse or end eventually, and to find out what happens to Natalie and her family and reality then, you'll just have to keep reading.
