How about this. The story is set in the future, and is narrated by a history professor who is effectively reading the diary of a kid (Peter Vincent) from ancient history, who is on an adventure guided by the diary of a kid (Kyle Straker) from his ancient history. And yet all of these are in our future. I almost didn't read this after the first chapter because this could have gone all wrong. But I persevered And am glad I did. Peter Vincent lives in a world where everyone is connect to the Link. Imagine a direct brain link to the internet... on steroids. Peter gets a girlfriend and begins to help her investigate the disappearance of her father. The interesting part is the discovery (or suggestion) of what the link is, and really thinking about the impacts of this for computing. I was reminded of the cat in the final scene of Men in Black, with the pendant that is an entire universe of its own. Enough said.
