This is a book set in the future, where the ecosystem is slowly collapsing and everyone is pretty sure that humanity is fucked in the long term. In this world, Laurence and Patricia, two young nerds, are bullied in school, confide in one another, and are quietly nursing fantasies of saving the world. Oh, and in this world magic is real, sort of like Brakebills only less dysfunctional.

The problem is that seers keep having visions that show that Patrica and Laurence are the ones who fuck things up completely.

I really liked this book for being so clear about large scale systems collapse and what it's like to live in San Francisco where you can have all the technology but there's a coffee shortage, and what it's like to live in a world where magic exists but can't fix anything.
