Mary Ellen Cravens
It's 1996, and less than half of all American high-school students have ever used the Internet. Emma just got her first computer and an America Online CD-ROM. Josh is her best friend. They power up and log on - and discover themselves on Facebook, 15 years in the future.
Everybody wonders what their Destiny will be. Josh and Emma are about to find out.

What did you love best about The Future of Us?
Well, I liked everything from it, the fact that it is about good old AOL and then it mixes with Facebook is pretty unexpected, but very interesting.Who was your favorite character and why?
Probably Emma, only because she has more information about what's going on.Which character – as performed by Steven Kaplan and Mary Ellen Cravens – was your favorite?
Emma, but Josh's voice is very professional sounding.If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
You would love this book, something horribly cheesy...Any additional comments?
I was assigned this book over the summer until I get back to school, I was so mad they were totally taking our summer away and making us stress about this... But I seriously loved it, I expected to not even remotely like it, but it's my favorite book now.Much different than expected

THE AUDIOBOOK: Steven and Mary Ellen swap back and forth as the narration changes from Josh and Emma. Steven has a very easy to listen to voice, although his "female voice" was a little hard to take. Mary Ellen was very high pitched, but perfect for the character of Emma. The one negative aspect of this recording was the treatment of the Facebook posts: I'm assuming that in the print version, the Facebook status updates would be shown as screen shots, as though they were taken from a Facebook page (please, correct me if I'm wrong). And the narrators faithfully read everything in those screen shots....including the 'Like' and 'Comment' buttons, which just annoyed the heck out of me (so rather than just "Emma Nelson-Jones is having mac-n-cheese. 12 minutes ago", it becomes "Emma-Nelson Jones is having mac-n-cheese. 12 minutes ago. Like. Comment." Annoying, right?) Other than that, I found this a good audiobook to just zone out to on the train home.
