Set in the year 2058, the earth has suffered a calamity of huge proportions.Tim is 16 and lives with his important and powerful father.  Needless to say, Tim does not agree with or like his father.  He never wants to grow up and be like him...This is a world of complete conservation in that there are people starving, no electricity and no more US.Tim has a girlfriend, Annie, who is basically his only friend.  Both are trying to get into the same program so they can be together.It is so hot that the thermometers have the temperatures listed in C instead of F... this makes people think it is more cool.Something disastrous happens to Tim's father which leaves Tim in a position of power at the corporation.  Lots of twists and turns as the power struggle surfaces...  Will Tim become like his Dad or not?The subject of cryonics arises in this one.  No spoilers here...  Suffice it to say, be careful what you wish for.....One quote that I liked was when Tim was speaking with Annie and comparing her to popcorn:  "Popcorn like a butterfly.  It didn't look impressive until it burst out of its shell"...Highly recommended...
