Notes
I sure hope the TV series is better than the book. I'm not a big fan of it. There's a ton of debate about free will vs. predetermined futures; practically too much. The book is dripping with it. I understand it's an interesting debate, perhaps an important one, but half the book has been going on with the same characters driving home the same points.
There's been no development in the characters at all. They're all just static, uninteresting. I'll finish the book until the end to say I've finished it, and I may watch the pilot, but I'm not expecting a whole lot.
Description edit
A scientific experiment begins, and as the button is pressed, the unexpected occurs: everyone in the world goes to sleep for a few moments while everyone's consciousness is catapulted more than twenty years into the future. At the end of those moments, when the world reawakens, all human life is transformed by foreknowledge.
