Futureproof - by N Frank Daniels (Paperback)

About the Book

"Futureproof" is the story of a young man and his friends as they attempt to navigate their way through life's dysfunction, heartbreaks, triumphs, and pitfalls, in a novel that bludgeons the reader like the best of Burroughs and Jim Caroll." (Dan Pope, author of "In the Cherry Tree").

From the Back Cover

No past. No future. Only now.

Originally a self-publishing success launched on N. Frank Daniels's MySpace page, the novel Futureproof tells the story of Luke and his friends as they navigate Atlanta's subculture of delinquents. In short order, the seemingly harmless high from his first cigarette sends Luke on a downward spiral that ends only after years of self-abuse. It is an extreme cautionary tale told with sensitivity, ferocity, and grit.
