Summary:
"Filled with nostalgia, love, heartbreak, and the author's signature wry examinations of mental health, this book helps explain what lives inside us, what we struggle to define. Written on the road over two years of touring, The Future is rugged, genuine, and relatable [...] In the author's own words, The Future is a blue sky and a full tank of gas, and in it, we are alive"--Amazon.com.
