Everyday Reality is a Drag?.
FUN¿-the latest in augmented reality-is fun but it's also frustrating,
glitchy, and dangerously addictive . Just when everyone else is getting
on, 17-year-old Aaron O'Faolain wants off.
But first he has to complete his Application for Termination, and in
order to do that he has to deal with his History-not to mention the
present, including his grandfather's suicide and a series of clues that
may (or may not) lead to buried treasure. As he attempts to unravel the
mystery, Aaron is sidetracked again . . . and again. Shadowed by his
virtual "best friend," Homie, Aaron struggles with love, loss, dog
bites, community theater, wild horses, wildfires, and the fact (deep
breath) that actual reality can sometimes surprise you.
Sean McGinty's strikingly profound debut unearths a world that is eerily
familiar, yet utterly original. Discover what it means to come to the
end of fun.
