Let's Put the Future Behind Us

Jack Womack is known for writing unflinching, imaginative, utterly convincing novels set in the not-so-distant future. Compared to both William Gibson and Kurt Vonnegut, and deemed “wonderfully inventive” by the New York Times, Womack’s past work has won him awards and garnered excellent reviews. Now, with the appropriately titled Let’s Put the Future Behind Us, Womack turns his attention to our contemporary world, with characteristically hilarious, and frightening, results.
A biting book filled with irony and black humor, Let’s Put the Future Behind Us provides a seductive look at post-Soviet Russia and a cold-eyed examination of the darker side of the human soul.
