I just it's a coming of age book about these three teens. It takes place in twenty ninety eight, and I just was imagining, what's the world going to look like like, what society are going to look like, and more importantly like for me, because we're born and raised in New York, what's New York going to look like, you know, to those kids?

And this is my offering in that way of Hey, climate changes happen. It's about classism, it's about sexism. It's obviously it's about you know, racism is still in there, all the isms, and then how do we, you know, spend that on its head, because it's really about these kids who are like trying to figure themselves out. Because you know that fourteen fifteen year old stage is an awkwar part of life, like just for anyone. So it doesn't matter where you come from. You could be from Arkansas, Nebraska, or you could be from an urban space like Chicago or New York or Atlanta or whatever. And I believe that there's something in there for every kid to take away. It's also about escapism, to give them something to like get them through the next day.
