    Now in its 12th edition, it is still the market leader and is known for its scientific research base and its currency, comprehensiveness, and accuracy.

    It’s for those who like to laugh at the absurdity, magic, and madness of human existence. It's been called the next Brave New World, with a touch of Kurt Vonnegut and a hint of Philip K. Dick. You won’t be able to put it down.” Joe Sokolinsky, TV Channel 29, San Francisco, 2010The Future Perfect is a wild ride into the future, unknown like anything I have ever envisioned. Mustard’s imagination is remarkable, knowing no boundaries and yet holding this reader within his genius virtual reality. The characters are likable, funny, determined and yet quirky. The world-building is unbelievable and so detail oriented, I could quickly build the world in my mind, down to the finest pebble. Glass flowers and linoleum deserts are just the tip of what this futuristic novel has to offer. Romance, suspense, competitive science and excellent writing, The Future Perfect is genius! I totally enjoyed it! Minding Spot (Book Review Blog), Wendy 9/18/11“This book is an absolutely fantastic, humorous and dark satirical look at a dystopian future where humankind simultaneously wages war against nature while pining for its renewal, glories in a shallow sterile consumerist society obsessed with dreams of true happiness, computer simulated immortality and the eradication of all danger via technology.” The Goth "Darkness Visible” October 19, 2010“If you like your sci-fi quirky and off the wall, you can't go wrong with this one. You'll never guess what's coming next. As I drew near the end, I found myself eager to see how it all turns out, but dreading the end of the adventure. And that ending? Near perfect. A laugh out loud page-turner.” LrockyB 2012“In this amazing science fiction/fantasy treatise, Mustard portrays a hyperactive world where artificial intelligence has progressed to the point that no one dies and technology has everyone and everything moving at a frenetic pace. More than a novel, The Future Perfect is a gut wrenching experience that causes readers to question the parameters of human existence while satirizing those who tend toward navel gazing. I found myself laughing derisively one moment then shrieking in horror at recognizing myself in this fun house distortion. Truly, Mustard has held up a mirror to the disastrous collision course upon which humanity has embarked and its inevitable end. Like a train wreck, it's hard to watch yet impossible to turn away from. Even as you're aware of what you think will be the inevitable and horrifying outcome, you continue to gape at this pitch perfect rendering of humanity's mad dash to extinction. I loved reading this novel, and I don't usually like science fiction.” Mary Reilly, Booknookclub (Book Review Blog) 2011“This is one of the best sci-fi books I have ever read. It has a great plot; actually, it has an amazing plot. I especially love the ending.” Mom2Four 2011“There seems to be all sorts of influences, not just Vonnegut, Adams and Huxley, but also more than a bit of Arthur C. Clarke and Margaret Atwood. It bundles all these influences together into a classic piece of predictive science fiction. It's done in a silly and light hearted way, so it gets you thinking without feeling too heavy handed or getting in the way of the narrative.” Robin Hartley 2010“This is a classic. The turn of phrase, hilarity with pathos, and sheer creative ability in his writing is astonishing. I place this work alongside all the best predictive sci-fi I've ever read.” Shakti 2010“The future portrayed here is not too distant or far removed from reality.
