If you're curious about tomorrow, you've come to the right place. Blending fiction and nonfiction, Lois Gresh's Techno Life 2020 is the first book of its kind. While many books predict the future, none focuses on one day in the life of an ordinary man and backs up the fiction with hard-based facts about tomorrow's science. The left pages are fiction, the right pages are fact. From the intimate perspective of a voyeur, we explore every facet of Joe Leinster's life: Love and Sex, Entertainment, Medicine and Dentistry, Work, Education, Transportation, Family, Food, Sleep. We watch everyman Joe struggle to keep his sanity while he chases the elusive and exotic glamour babe of tomorrow, Sherry Anne Scaturro. We pop inside Sherry Annes head and go with her to the shrink, the gynecologist, and the high-tech job where she puts the ultimate screws on poor Joe. Virtual love, virtual work, junk food that's good for you, self-monitoring of brain waves and psycho-cyber drugs, cosmetic surgery at your fingertips and in your own house; indeed, a house that responds to your every need and whim.Gresh, Lois H. is the author of 'Technolife 2020 A Day in the World of Tomorrow', published 2001 under ISBN 9781550224597 and ISBN 155022459X.
