The future of young adult literature may be shifting.
Luke Larson is the author of the new, interactive young adult novel "Igist." It's a sci-fi novel set a few hundred years in the future. And, in the future, mankind has experienced a space brain drain as humanity has colonized the solar system.
So, the people left back on earth — called bygones — have not been left with much. So the story's heroine, Emi, dreams of getting off of earth and going to the most prestigious science academy in the galaxy — the Intergalactic Institute of Science and Technology.
Larson spoke with The Show about the new book, and he said he was inspired to write it because of his daughters — and his day job.
