Does anyone know any good books about time traveling in the future?

I don't mean someone traveling into the usual futuristic world with advanced technology but finding themselves at awe by seeing that the future is nothing more then a living hell.

Similar to this picture, plus it doesn't have to be someone building a time machine, but accidentally finding themselves in this hellish environment

I know there is some book I am referencing. I think it was about like a teenage boy who goes on a time travel vacation. You leave your body in a stasis state of some kind and your mind travelled to a waiting 'clone' (very much like avatar) and there was a sort of mystery/detective novel plot... memory too hazy. narcotics kicking in.
