Margaret Atwood’s next book won’t come out till 2114 — and that’s not a typo

Margaret Atwood has just started writing a brand-new book, but you’ll never read it. Not unless you live unnaturally long — the book won’t be released until 2114.

The novel is part of a revolutionary new project created by Scottish artist Katie Paterson called Future Library. The project involves 1,000 trees planted outside Oslo that will grow into a forest and be cut down to print 100 books; one book to be written every year from 2014 until 2114.

Atwood: “It freaks me out a bit” 

Not going to lie, I’m a little upset that I won’t be able to read this book. Cool project though, I guess…
