The entire world knows Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly, the teenage sidekick of Doc Brown in Back to the Future; as Alex P. Keaton in Family Ties; as Mike Flaherty in Spin City; and through numerous other movie roles and guest appearances on shows such as The Good Wife and Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Diagnosed at age 29, Michael is equally engaged in Parkinson’s advocacy work, raising global awareness of the disease and helping find a cure through The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, the world’s leading non-profit funder of PD science.

In this candid reflection, Fox delves into his journey of coming to terms with aging, illness, the limitations imposed by his Parkinson's disease, the strength of his family and friends, and how our perceptions about time affect the way we approach mortality, all while still maintaining his trademark optimism.
Narrated by Fox himself, the audiobook brings listeners close to his experiences over recent years as he grapples with new health setbacks, including a spinal surgery that threatened his mobility.
With humor and vulnerability, he shares stories of love, family, and the power of perseverance, offering wisdom on how to navigate uncertainty and find meaning in the face of life's inevitable changes.
No Time Like the Future is more than just a memoir—it’s a profound look at mortality and the choices that define us, from a man who has lived with extraordinary courage.
