Flashforward the show
Ok now if you have seen the show Flash Forward you would now how everything happened but i will scim through the basics:

On an unknown date everyone on the face of the earth was blacked out for 137 seconds (2mins 17secs). Most people saw a vision of April 29th 2009 approx. 6 months from present day.

Some people saw nothing,Blackness- indicating that they will not be alive in 6 months time.
One of these people is an FBI dective named Demitri Noh. Demitri eventually finds out that he was shot several times in the chest two days before the flashforward time.

Mark Benford(married to olivia Benford) is also an FBI dective working in the same department as Demitri.Mark has a daughter named Charlie.
Mark did see a vision. he saw himself at the office.

Olivia Benford (American) is a doctor and is married to Mark Benford. Olivia too saw a vision.
In her Vision Olivia saw herself in her house with another man, a man she hadnt met before... until after the flashforward. in the flashforward Olivia was talking to him firtatiously. The man was in a robe suggesting that they were together intimately. This man is named Lloyd Simcoe.

*Lloyd Simcoe is a father. His son is named Dylan.
in an episode we saw Lloyd talk to a mysterious man. This man said that they had caused the flashforward.

A lady decided to make a website called the Mosaic which helps to see a clear picture of April 29th 2009.

The book:

On tuesday the 21st of April 2009 two physicists
one named Theo the other named....Lloyd Simcoe*
did an experiment and the result was everyone on the face of the earth being blacked out for exactly 2mins 17secs. yes Lloyd Simcoe in the book caused the flashforward and :Lloyd simcoe in the show apparentley might have something to do with it. Most people experienced a vision of the future a future in the year 2030.

Theo is greek and in his vision saw nothing. Theo then comes to the conclusion that he will be dead in twenty years. theo searches into this and finds out that he is murdered. He was shot 5 times in the chest. the gun was american.

A lady named Michicko (japanese) made a website called the mosaic. a website which helps tp make a clear picture of 2030. Michicko in her vision saw her daughter. Her own daughter of present day was killed during the flashforward.

Lloyd Simcoe in his vision saw himslef in bed with a lady other than his fionce.

At the end of the book they perform another flashforward. No one dies. Three quarters of the population did not see a flashforward becuase it was set 2 million years from now. People who saw something have been made immortal.

If you can not quite understand all the connections comment and i will try and make them more clear:D

WOW, that is weird but somehow awesome.
What are the chances of them making that in the show, too? :P
