Scientists have given numerous warnings about artificial global warming and climate change. Currently, the world faces a rapid increase in pollution in the atmosphere. What is more heartbreaking is that we have already been warned of what could happen if we do not change our ways. Singularity by Jayme A. Oliveira Filho and Jayme S. Alencar gives us a vivid picture of what will happen. Have you, as an individual, contributed to preserving or destroying your environment?
 
The book starts in the 21st century and ends at the beginning of the 22nd century. In the author's utopian world, the year is 2135. The world is in a state of confusion because of natural resources and atmospheric pollution. As a result, humans face harsh weather and wild climates, with torrential storms, dust bowls, flooding and drought. Everyone is overwhelmed and panicking. Was this the end? After everyone thinks all hope is lost, Joseph develops a concept to save humanity from extinction. Does he succeed?
 
What I liked the most about the book was that the authors raised readers’ awareness of global warming, its effects and threats to human existence. This helps readers see exactly what will befall them if they do not conserve their environment. This message should be treated with the utmost urgency, as it acts as a warning. I also liked how well-developed the characters were. They all played their roles perfectly and helped create an enjoyable storyline entirely complementary to each other's roles.
 
There is nothing I liked the least about this book. The use of simple language will aid readers’ understanding of Joseph’s idea as it evolves into reality. I also loved the lovely pictures at the beginning of every chapter. These pictures give readers a clue about what will be discussed in subsequent topics.
 
The book was professionally edited since I only found a single grammatical error. I have no reason to rate this book less than five out of five stars. I recommend it to readers who enjoy romance and technology in sci-fi novels.

The book's focus on the dire consequences of global warming and atmospheric pollution is incredibly timely and important. It's compelling to see how the authors have crafted a story that not only entertains but also serves as a powerful warning about the future if we don't take action.
I believe in something greater than myself.

Looks like the book does a great job of emphasizing the urgency of global warming. Even though practically everyone is aware of it, chances are only a portion of them would actively cultivate habits to preserve environmental resources due to a perceived lack of urgency. I can't wait to read this book soon.
I write the best reviews possible. :idea2:
