A true story about time travel.

Ross Sutherland’s job is to predict the future. Working for a well-known national newspaper, Ross spends his days surrounded by people speculating on Britain’s imminent collapse. As far as his office is concerned, The Future is already written, and it doesn’t look good.

But when the recession hits, Ross finds himself out of a job and on his way back to Essex to live with his parents. Trapped in his own past, warring with his old enemy (the local Spar), Ross must use his time capsule as a means of escape. But How? Does the secret to understanding the future lie in a yellow pill-munching character from his past?

Ross Sutherland was born in Edinburgh in 1979. He was included in The Times list of Top Ten Literary Stars of 2008. He has three collections of poetry: Things To Do Before You Leave Town (2009), Twelve Nudes (2010), and Hyakuretsu Kyaku (2011), all published by Penned In The Margins. Ross is also a member of the poetry collective Aisle16 with whom he runs Homework, an evening of literary miscellany in East London.

He is currently developing a piece of interactive theatre: Comedian Dies In The Middle Of A Joke, and he also has a new documentary about whether computers will ever be able to write poetry. Every Rendition On A Broken Machine was released Christmas 2011.
