girlinstory Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Interface is young adult dystopian novel. It's coming out this Thanksgiving, and I'm holding a Goodreads giveaway. https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/show/211761?utm_medium=api&utm_source=giveaway_widget It's 2048, and Big Brother is binge watching. The future always seemed bright, but it turns out that was just global warming. Meals don’t come in pills, shoes don’t lace themselves, and there are flying cars, but the gas mileage sucks. There is one difference. People have always searched the internet for answers. Now they actually worship it. Pen Nowen’s father was the founder of Interface, a computer company so big and powerful that people began praying to it. Especially when his death almost tanked the economy. Seven years later, Pen’s just finished her junior year of high school. For their summer vacations, all of her friends are going to Disneyland, Tijuana, or Disneyland Tijuana, but Pen’s going on a pilgrimage to pray for what’s left of her family. She’s on her way to the Interface flagship store when she gets kidnapped. It’s the second time this year. She’s about to begin the ransom negotiations when the kidnapper says that he doesn’t want money. He wants something else from her. Before Pen can text 911, he says something even creepier.He knows the truth about her dad’s death. Link to post Share on other sites

Hermit Advocate Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I just have to say this girlinstory, I love what you put down for your gender and pronouns. Link to post Share on other sites
girlinstory Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 Thanks! They had a Star Wars costume exhibit at the EMP, and I just couldn't help but identify with Emperor Palpatine's costume. Link to post Share on other sites
Hermit Advocate Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 I love the EMP, I just hate dealing with the traffic to get there. Link to post Share on other sites
girlinstory Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 I can understand that. I live in Portland, so I Bolt Bus it. What I'm not the biggest fan of is the prices, especially for the special exhibits like Star Wars and Star Trek. (Nerdiness is pretty much my only vice, so I still pay it. I just have my Angry Eyes on when I do.) Link to post Share on other sites
Hermit Advocate Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I feel like prices just keep going up. I applaud your dedication of busing all the way to Seattle. Link to post Share on other sites
