In his new book, The Future It Keeps Coming, Lin writes in a conversational, self-deprecating, yet intimate voice. He gives a thorough portrayal of his dark adolescence; and for his film work, Lin's attitude is "there's no way to predict the future."
林正盛以「未來不可知」的心態面對他的電影創作，對他幽微、深沈的青春歲月，他則以一種「叨叨絮絮，自戀又親切」的筆法，詳盡書寫在《未來，一直來一直來》一書中。
