Futureproof - by N Frank Daniels (Paperback)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

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.

Review Quotes

"Harrowing, gripping, starkly original." - New York Press

"Makes a fair bid for voice of a generation: a post-punk, post-nuclear-family malcontent stalking the margins of society with a need to believe and very little to believe in." - Pittsburgh City Paper

"With characters at once unique and universal, Daniels' depth of passion for them rubs off onto your fingers and seeps into your bloodstream. A good high." - Josh Kilmer-Purcell

"Be the first on your block to glimpse the future of American fiction - if not the future of America. Lock the doors, load your guns, and let N. Frank Daniels take you straight to a hell you can believe in." - Jerry Stahl, author of Permanent Midnight

"He seems to share punkish DNA with the likes of Irvine Welsh, Paul Westerberg and Bret Easton Ellis" - Jay McInerney
