Flashforward is a science fiction novel written by Robert J. Sawyer. The story follows a group of scientists who conduct an experiment that inadvertently causes the entire human race to experience a flashforward - a brief glimpse into their own future.
As people around the world try to make sense of their visions and determine if they can be changed, the scientists race to understand what caused the phenomenon and how to prevent it from happening again.
The novel explores themes of fate, free will, and the consequences of knowing one's own future. It also delves into the personal lives of the characters as they grapple with the implications of their visions.
Flashforward was adapted into a television series of the same name in 2009, but was cancelled after one season.
