What will the world look like in 150 years? How will today's events shape the future?
We want Grades 7 to 12 students to give us a glimpse of the great Canadian novel in the year 2168.
Your challenge is to write the first page of a novel set 150 years in the future, with your protagonist facing an issue that's topical today and setting the scene for how it's all playing out in a century and a half.
How will the world leaders of today impact the world of tomorrow? Who will be the biggest name in pop culture in the future? How will climate change impact the protagonist's life, where he or she lives, the struggles he or she is facing? (Oh, and speaking of he/she — does gender even exist in 150 years?)
The book could be from any literary genre, from mystery or thriller to literary fiction, from adventure or romance to satire or sci-fi.
