Dear Future Me: Hopes, Fears, Secrets, Resolutions

Book Description

Reading through the Dear Future Me letters is a sociological experiment, tapping into a culture obsessed with the future and all that it entails: self-improvement, anxiety, technological change--all in an increasingly global world. Matt Sly and Jay Patrikios created FutureMe.org in 2002. The idea is simple--anybody can visit the site and write a letter to him or herself to be delivered in the future. In addition, the writer can elect to have the letter be "public but anonymous," creating a repository of letters that are readable by all. Dear Future Me is a collection of the best letters. The letters in Dear Future Me are fascinating because they delve into the lives of ordinary people when they're being really honest.
