Omniscient: John the Genius [Alt-Hist-1984]

What if you could remember the future? Imagine standing before a bookshelf and clearly remembering a potential future version of yourself pulling every book down and reading it. That knowledge is already at your fingertips, the work already done. Is it a blessing, or is it a curse to know exactly what will happen every moment of every day? If you can always make the Perfect Choice, do you still have free will? In 1984 Oklahoma, seven-year-old John Cook becomes the collapsing probability of his own existence. Following an unexpected event, he gains the ability to remember every possible future that could ever happen. Possessed of the wisdom and skills of infinite future selves, John can master a piano concerto in minutes or quote every book in the library, but he must weigh the crushing pressure of the infinite against the simple joys of being a child. Volume 1 follows John as he navigates his new reality, working to establish his intelligence while striving to make his father proud by becoming the first male in his family to graduate high school. It is a warm, uplifting slice-of-life story of a family standing together at the edge of the impossible, protecting a young boy who is suddenly too smart for his own good.   Originally written as a series of eight short novellas beginning in 2018, this story has been massively expanded and rewritten into a compelling series of full-length novels. Follow John’s journey from a small town in 1984 through a future he already remembers, as he makes the choices that will determine the fate of the world.
