Flashforward

In a world-altering instant, humanity is plunged into a collective two-minute blackout, a global 'flashforward' that propels everyone exactly twenty-one years into their personal future. When consciousness returns, chaos reigns: millions have died in crashes and accidents, but billions now grapple with the fragmented, often terrifying, visions of what their lives will become. For some, it's a glimpse of love and innovation; for others, despair, death, or chilling emptiness. As scientists at CERN race to understand the cause of this unprecedented event, the fabric of society unravels under the weight of foreknowledge. Relationships are tested, careers are redefined, and the very concept of free will is thrown into question. The novel delves into the profound philosophical and psychological ramifications of knowing one's destiny, exploring how individuals and governments react to a pre-ordained future, and the desperate search for an explanation that could either confirm or shatter humanity's understanding of time itself.
