Riding Time Machines: Michael J. Fox's New Memoir Reveals 80s Chaos
Fresh Autumn Releases: Memoirs Hit Shelves - Fresh autobiographies scheduled for release this autumn
Ready to get Back to the Future? Michael J. Fox (63), the man who made Marty McFly a household name, is spilling the beans on his iconic role and more in his new book. Titled "Future Boy: My Journey Through the Space-Time Continuum," this memoir is set to hit shelves on October 14, 2025.
Fox isn't shy about it—this book has been his personal time machine, "blasting" him through memories of his career's most exhilarating period. Co-written with Nelle Fortenberry, the book details Fox's life in 1985, a year filled with double duties. During the day, he was Alex P. Keaton on the hit NBC sitcom, Family Ties. By night, he was Marty McFly, catapulting himself (and us) into the comical chaos of Back to the Future.
"My life was a circus-like whirlwind," Fox chuckles, remembering the craziness of juggling two cult roles simultaneously. "Imagine Albert Einstein trying to make sense of it all," he adds, successfully channeling the brains of both a physicist and a hilarious actor.
Fox's new book offers insider perspective on entertainment history, with fresh interviews from cast and crew of both projects. Delving behind the scenes, it promises to share a piece of history that has never been fully told before.
Fox's fourth book, Future Boy is less memoir and more reflection. "This book has been my personal time machine, but unlike the DeLorean, there's plenty of room for everyone who wants to join," Fox teases.
Diagnosed with Parkinson's in 1991, Fox is no stranger to sharing his life story. His previous memoirs—A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Future, Always Looking Up, Lucky Man, and No Time Like the Future—have resonated with readers worldwide. With Future Boy, Fox reflects on the biggest questions we all face: "Who am I? Where am I? Where am I going?" He's not giving away everything, but he claims to have figured it out.
Stay tuned for Michael J. Fox's latest literary journey, as he delves into the wild, chaotic, and exciting year of 1985. There may not be an actual time machine, but this memoir will definitely transport us back to a time when movie magic and everyday struggles collided.
I'm not going to tell you what I'm gonna do, but I'm sure you'll find some fascinating stories about books like the upcoming memoir by Michael J. Fox, "Future Boy: My Journey Through the Space-Time Continuum". This book, filled with personal experiences and behind-the-scenes insights from Fox's roles in both "Family Ties" and "Back to the Future", promises an entertaining ride through the past.
