- Book 1 of 1: Let Go
Dan Terrell loses his job to a computer in a near-future world where unemployment is skyrocketing. Ever-present surveillance throws his daughter Olivia into a spiraling addiction to attention. As new technologies relentlessly arrive, the whole family struggles to adapt.
Written by Ted Kupper and Joe Perry, co-hosts of the Review The Future podcast, Let Go features a view of the world which is neither utopian nor dystopian, but a fully-realized world of emerging technologies and the struggle to adapt and cope.

“I fell in love with Let Go because their take on a family reconciling technology in the future clung to my subconscious for months after reading. That doesn't happen often."
Sina Grace
Iceman, Self-Obsessed
"The team behind the excellent podcast, Review the Future, have taken the enormously important subject of technological unemployment and built a highly engaging graphic novel around it. Science fiction is rarely strong on both characters and the impact of technology, but this book manages that. Definitely worth reading if you are at all interested in the economic singularity."
Calum Chace
Pandora’s Brain, Surviving AI: The Promise and Peril of Artificial Intelligence
“A compelling rollercoaster of a graphic novel, filled with fascinating insights into the future of work, social media, artificial intelligence, virtual reality and lifespan extension, all wrapped up in a fast-paced narrative about a family trying to make sense of the future. What starts as a seemingly simple story about a man losing his job, ends up as a captivating meditation on the social consequences of accelerating change. Anyone with an interest in the future should read this.”

Store description
**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
