Delve into the lives of ordinary people at their most honest. With time capsule appeal, Dear Future Me is a collection of letters written by everyday people to their future selves. This fascinating portrait of real life offers a sometimes humorous, sometimes poignant, but always insightful look into our culture and society—and ultimately at ourselves.

About the Authors

Matt and Jay met in Williamstown, MA, where both were working for Internet companies. As things would have it, they both ended up in San Francisco a few years later, where they came up with the idea for FutureMe.org. They created the site in their spare time (maybe a total of 40 hours of work) and launched it in 2002. Jay does design. Matt does programming. Jay is currently a designer at Amazon.com and Matt is an MBA student at the Yale School of Management.
