Whenever we’re struggling to find an answer to some sort of personal conundrum, we have a tendency to ask our family and/or friends for their advice for two main reasons. An Outsider’s View in All Our Wrong Todays The search for the answer takes him across multiple continents and timelines, giving many lessons along the way.
He then becomes faced with a true dilemma: to bring back the predictable utopia he couldn’t fit in, or try and build a new life for himself in the chaotic yet fascinating universe he has landed in.
Quite soon though, he finds the alternate version of his own family in this new world, and along the way experiences some unexpected joys he couldn’t have even dreamt of. For Tom, who comes from the land where vegetables never spoil, the shock of our reality is tremendous, appearing to him like a dystopian wasteland rife with injustice, inequality, suffering and infinite hardships. Victim of a time-travelling mishap stemming from some rash decision-making, Tom finds himself thrown into an alternate reality: our very own 2016, the one we see as the real world. It’s ideal for virtually everyone except him, but soon an accident of fate offers him a chance to begin his life anew under rather different circumstances. Humanity has all sorts of moon bases, cars are indeed flying around without crashing into anything, the sidewalks move on their own, and most importantly, punk rock never even had a chance to see the light of day.ĭespite the perfection of the world he lives in, Tom simply can’t seem to find his place in it, the little nook in the world he could fit into. Tom is living in quite literally the idealized vision of tomorrow so prevalent in the world of yesterday. While something tells me we won’t see it any time soon, it’s the only world Tom Barren knows in All Our Wrong Todays by Elan Mastai. Back then, people had quite an ambitious vision for the future, including flying cars and free energy for all. Sometime in the 1940s and 50s humanity experienced an unprecedented technological boom which took nearly the entire world by storm, leading to the digital age of today.
