Symbols of the Future

2183 A.D.



T.R.I.G.O.M. rules the blue planet.



Physical exertion and interaction between humans is discouraged. Most of the humans retreat into Avatar worlds to escape reality. Only a chosen few are still looking out and observing the dramatic changes occurring on the planet known as Earth. But even they are terrified of the threat of the Red Zone…



In a world of A.I. and Hubots this is a story of the struggle for humanity and a search for what makes us all human. We are taken on a journey with Torri and Joshua, two characters whose destinies are intertwined. Uncomfortable with the Avatar lifestyle and shunned for loving the outdoors, they unknowingly hold the key to the continuation of the human race into the final Epoch.





In Symbols of the Future, the debut novel of Caroline Read, inspiration is drawn from her interest in the planets and a love of the stories of E.M. Forster.



Born and bred in Nottingham, Caroline is well-known locally for her poetry and this success has driven her writing towards her thought-provoking and entertaining first novel.
