Novelist's parallel world in All Our Wrong Todays

What if the world we know today is actually a dystopian society? Could the reason we don't live like the cartoon family the Jetsons be attributed to one person's mistake that altered the evolution of technology?

Elan Mastai explores this possibility in his novel, All Our Wrong Todays.

It's 2016 and life is full of handy gadgets that help you sleep, eat, drink and travel. The Earth is free from pollution, crime and poverty. There's an algorithm to find solutions for most problems that helps society continue to move forward at a rapid pace. Thanks to an incredible invention in 1965, the world as we know it never existed.
