An explosive new science fiction novella set two minutes into the near future.
It's the first day of SIP, the Synthetic Integration Program, at Westphalia High School where sixteen new synthetic teenagers begin their first day of school and are integrated into the human population. When a human boy falls in love with a synthetic girl, the reactions and emotions this events produces in them as well as their family, friends, and community is profound, and after an explosive incident threatens the future of the program, the very nature of love and humanity is debated and explored, and the eternal question asked: how far do we go to be with and protect the ones that move and change our hearts?
Told in alternating perspectives, Foreverlong is a story that delves into the center of the possibilities of why we're here, what makes us human, and the things worth fighting for, at all costs. For fans of Gattaca and The Giver, this is a profound and intimate exploration of an Amblin and John Hughes vision of American suburbia and the corners of our hearts and souls we've hidden and forgotten, but are being called to find and give in to once more, as we all search for a better and more human way forward.
