Welcome to Day #5 of the Absolutely Everything! Blog Tour!

To celebrate the release of Absolutely Everything! by Christopher Lloyd on October 15th, blogs across the web are featuring exclusive videos from Christopher, plus 5 chances to win a copy of Absolutely Everything!


To Be Continued, Pockets 13-15
by Christopher Lloyd

The final segment of Christopher Lloyd’s Pocket History of the World races through the scientific revolution, a century from 1845 to 1945 where everybody seemed to be fighting everyone else, finally emerging the world we are familiar with today. The story never really ends because there are so many issues still waiting to play out in the future including how to solve pollution, having mutual respect for each other and knowing how to deal with the rise of robots.

This book sounds so much fun for me to read and also gather ideas for my own writing. The more I know, the more I can expand my writing subjects. Love the bright and fun cover too.
