Picked an eerily-right audiobook to listen to on a road trip from Camarillo to Santa Rosa this week.
Written in 1993, the opening scenes are set in July 2024. The Pasadena-based Butler had her travelers go on the 118, the 23, the 101, which I drove this trip. Her crew left Salinas just as I arrived.
I live in LA & read this book for the first time last month. The date being RIGHT NOW was so weird! It would have been even weirder on a CA road trip, though.
