Would you try to change the world if you thought it had no future? Graduating from high school is a time of limitless possibilities but not for Glory, who has no plan for what's next. Her mother committed suicide when Glory was only four years old, and she’s never stopped wondering if she will eventually go the same way... until a transformative night when she begins to experience an astonishing new power to see a person’s infinite past and future. From ancient ancestors to many generations forward, Glory is bombarded with visions and what she sees ahead of her is terrifying. A tyrannical new leader raises an army. Women’s rights disappear. A violent second civil war breaks out. And young girls vanish daily, sold off or interned in camps. Glory makes it her mission to record everything she sees, hoping her notes will somehow make a difference. She may not see a future for herself, but she’ll do everything in her power to make sure this one doesn’t come to pass. In this masterpiece about freedom, feminism, and destiny, Printz Honor author A.S. King tells the epic story of a girl coping with devastating loss at long last a girl who has no idea that the future needs her, and that the present needs her even more.

Glory O'Brien's History of the Future Book Reviews

When I love a book as much as I loved Glory O’Brien’s History of the Future, I’ll tell everyone about it. I don’t care if you like reading or not, I will tell you how absolutely in love I fell with this book. The thing is that when I try to explain what this book is about it does not make sense. It just doesn’t. It shouldn’t make sense, because I don’t know how the hell King incorporates so many things into a book and makes it work. It's just beyond me. Can she see into the future? How does she do it!? Did you drink a bat, King? I think I’m not making any sense.

If you have read my about me page you definitely now that I’m a HUGE fan of A.S. King. I’ll read anything King writes. Anything *says in a creepy voice*. And I knew Glory O’Brien was going to be one of my favorite characters ever. The thing is that as soon as you read the first page you get this overwhelming sensation to protect and love Glory. I have to tell you guys that this girl doesn’t need anyone’s protection because she’s one kickass main character, but I couldn’t help but wanting to hurt anyone who would hurt her. This doesn’t surprise me. I always get these feelings for all of A.S. King’s characters. The growth Glory goes through in this book is one of the best I’ve witness in any book I’ve ever read.
