The house of tomorrow : a novel

Bognanni, Peter. (Author). James, Lloyd. (Added Author). hoopla digital. (Added Author). Read by Lloyd James. (Cast).

Summary: Sebastian Prendergast lives in a geodesic dome with his eccentric grandmother, who homeschooled him in the teachings of futurist philosopher R. Buckminster Fuller. But when his grandmother has a stroke, Sebastian is forced to leave the dome and make his own way in town.Jared Whitcomb is a chain-smoking sixteen-year-old heart-transplant recipient who befriends Sebastian and begins to teach him about all the things he has been missing, including grape soda, girls, and Sid Vicious. They form a punk band called The Rash, and it's clear that the upcoming Methodist Church talent show has never seen the likes of them.With storytelling that is fresh and vivid, The House of Tomorrow is destined to become an instant classic.
