In contrast to the present world, the author portrays a period where technology is well advanced.This portrayal points out that science is always progressive. The story is told from the third person point of view and followed by dialogues. The main characters are Jennifer and Marty, her husband, who face the challenge of building a trustworthy relationship. This situation depicts how strong the bond of love can be between couples even in years to come.
Although the story is set in the 30th century, it is related to some innovation in today’s society-- advanced science and space exploration. It was enthralling the way the author described the academic world coupled with the pursuit of scholarly degrees, and the demands of the academics. Robots, intelligent computers, gender equality are some of the themes of the book. Due to the theme of gender equality, it can be further classified as a feminist science fiction.
It was captivating, seeing the fictional world created by the author’s imagination. A world where there is conflict between the “Syndos” and the “Naturals.” This struggle between these two groups made the story a bit suspenseful. There are no aliens but robots with superhuman abilities. Moreover, I commend the author for his creativity, especially the prediction of a technology that could be used to visit any century.
I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars (not 3 or a lower star) because of its "futuristic concepts and relation to society and technology." These innovations are likely human evolution that might take place in the nearest future, and my understanding of the science world was enhanced. I recommend it to technologists and scientists who are familiar to the scientific concepts expressed in the book. Fans of fantasy will be another recommended audience. Also, the terms of “dark energy“and the “Big Bang” will be of interest to those in the field of cosmology.
Lastly, the book seems professionally edited since I notice very few grammatical errors while reading. Thus, I commend the author for this extra care. I find no fault with the book, and this is just the first of the 30th Century Trilogy.
