Yours Truly, 2095

By: Brian Paone

Narrated by: Sean Michael Hogan

Jeff Blue - the victim of a time-travel conspiracy - wakes up trapped in the year 2095. The only familiar face is J0, a robotic copy of the wife he left behind in 1981. But can she be trusted? J0 could be the only key to unlock Jeff's journey home, but it will require her to do something against her programming , something human.

During Jeff's perilous journey through the future, he will have to discover the truth about J0's origins, and solve the mystery behind how he wound up in 2095, in order to uncover the reality of his own destiny.

Armed with a one-way ticket to the moon, Jeff must race against the clock to seize what might be his last chance to return home to his time. A time without hover cars, Justice Computers, or TeleSkins - a time over 100 years ago.

Amazing time travel adventure!!!!

Spectacular interpretation of the music that inspired this novel! I still don't know if I am team J0 or Julie, but look forward to the debates with my friends. I wonder if there will be a sequel to see how jeff influences the future.

Grabs your attention and never lets go!

What did you love best about Yours Truly, 2095?

"After finishing Yours Truly, 2095 and sitting for a few minutes when it was finished in silence, I have to say I can understand completely why this has been nominated for a Hugo Award.

Not only was Brian able to capture my attention from a early point in the book, he allowed me to imagine what was going on in the book through his word choices, descriptive phrasing, and showing more than telling.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and initially was going to listen to this prior to falling asleep. However. I found that was not even possible as I was too engrossed in the story line. I ended up listening for about 3 hours a night and am very glad to have good headphones.

I can't say enough good things about this book. If I did, the dictionary would be emptied of many words!"

What other book might you compare Yours Truly, 2095 to and why?

I honestly don't really know what other books I could compare this to. I don't usually read or listen to books of this nature, but I can now say I would if they were as good as what Brian wrote.

What does Sean Michael Hogan bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He makes it easy to listen to and is able to keep your attention very easily.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I can't really say what exact moment in the book moved me, but where he found out she was a robot really caught me off guard.

Any additional comments?

If you want a book that will keep you intrigued, this is what you want.

Intriguing

Is there anything you would change about this book?

It'd be hard to change anything since this is from the authors imagination.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

Most interesting is trying to picture how technology would be in 2095. I didn't have a least interesting aspect. It was well thoughtout.

Which character – as performed by Sean Michael Hogan – was your favorite?

JO was my favorite because her role is the most interesting to me.

Could you see Yours Truly, 2095 being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Yes it could be made into a movie. I'd say Leonardo Dicaprio as Jeff and Mila Kunis as JO

An interesting and different take on time travel

What I really liked about this story is the original and refreshing way to address time travel. The "bouncing" tech was cool. The robots programmed with the memories of their human counterparts was also a nice touch. I would have liked to see a few scenes of Jeff's descendant wrecking mayhem in 1981, but that doesn't take anything away from the overall work. All in all, this was a pretty good story that kept me guessing through most of it. The one little thing that irked me, at the end, is Jeff's lack of compassion for what will happen to his wife's consciousness in the future. JO's consciousness replacing Julie's in 1981 is a nice twist, don't get me wrong, but I still feel bad about the real Julie.

Time Travel with a twist. Not TRULY here or there
