+Since callbacks are executed in any order and potentially in parallel,

+But there's a solution! And it's name is ``andThen``, and it creates a new Future with

 Since the result of a ``Future`` is created concurrently to the rest of the program, exceptions must be handled differently.
 It doesn't matter if an ``UntypedActor`` or the dispatcher is completing the ``Future``, if an ``Exception`` is caught

+calling ``Await.result`` will cause it to be thrown again so it can be handled properly.
+
+It is also possible to handle an ``Exception`` by returning a different result.
+This is done with the ``recover`` method. For example:
+
+.. includecode:: code/akka/docs/future/FutureDocTestBase.java
+   :include: recover
+
+In this example, if the actor replied with a ``akka.actor.Status.Failure`` containing the ``ArithmeticException``,
+our ``Future`` would have a result of 0. The ``recover`` method works very similarly to the standard try/catch blocks,
+so multiple ``Exception``\s can be handled in this manner, and if an ``Exception`` is not handled this way
+it will behave as if we hadn't used the ``recover`` method.
+
+You can also use the ``tryRecover`` method, which has the same relationship to ``recover`` as ``flatMap` has to ``map``,
+and is use like this:
+
+.. includecode:: code/akka/docs/future/FutureDocTestBase.java
