Robert J. Sawyer’s “Flash Forward” A Go On ABC

“Flash Forward”, a pilot created by Brannon Braga (Enterprise) and David Goyer (Blade, the series) based on a book by Robert J. Sawyer, has been officially picked up by ABC for the this coming season.

The novel revolves around events in the year 2009. At CERN the Large Hadron Collider accelerator is performing a run to search for the Higgs boson. During the run the entire human race loses its consciousness of the present and experiences events from about 21 years in the future. Each individual, except for those asleep, experiences their own future through the senses of their future self. This “flashforward” lasts a matter of two minutes, but when it is over many are dead in accidents involving vehicles, aircraft, and any other device needing human control.
