LONDON. 2001. It's the new millennium, with a minute more of pre-mobile phone, pre-terrorism hysteria, pre-social media life to live. Jackie Chance escapes Sydney suburbia. She's an outsider with a bad haircut. Wild mood swings. She knows everything. She knows nothing. Why was Sef kicked out of the hostel? Immigration detention, drum and bass, Berlusconi's boys' club. Spearmint Rhinos, capital flows, Stephen Lawrence's murder ... By Chance the Future is a story that shows how reflecting on where we were 20 years ago can tell us where we are today-at a distance, with hindsight-if only we look. By Chance the Future blends travel writing, philosophical treatise, self-deprecating comedy and political criticism; the author highlighting both our very human hypocrisy and genuine attempts to connect, and the singularity and the sameness of our youthful adventures as we attempt to individuate from our families and countries of origin. In By Chance the Future, Amy Rudder tells a story of stepping out into the world and trusting you'll know what to do when you get there. Inspired by the character, Sarah, in cult movie, The Crow, and Roberto Bolano's anti-hero, Auxilio Lacoutre (Amulet), our protagonist Jackie thrives despite. By Chance the Future is for Gen X, it's for one-time travellers, it's for people who love London and big cities like it. It's Buddha of Suburbia meets Savage Detectives.
