Things We Didn't See Coming by Steven Amsterdam

3.0

We start the book with a family fleeing the city into the countryside ahead of Y2K and then we follow the boy as he grows up in a future of sifting and changing apocalypses and good times. The intensely narrow field of view of the story means that there are indeed many things that we didn't see coming. Wider responses, events, or happenings are at best hinted at in this changing world - which perhaps is more realistic but is sometimes frustrating. Survival takes many forms.
