This incredible science fiction novel can explore a complex and profound theme like the “meaning of life”, all within a fascinating and entertaining framework of imagination, with dazzling visual elements. The tension between human free will and the rise of AI is a central theme, questioning whether AI can replace humans in decision-making or if we are needed to bring ethics and responsibility into play. Furthermore, it raises the crucial question of what the role of humans will be in this new context and what space will remain for human ability to create, an essential aspect of our identity that machines cannot replicate.
Throughout the story, the author masterfully weaves every detail, creating a domino effect in each scene, as if it were a meticulously crafted work of art where everything fits seamlessly. Excelling in world-building, the author presents thrilling supersonic travel scenes alongside vivid descriptions of futuristic settings. The novel skillfully blends philosophical and technological themes, exploring how AI reshapes society while maintaining our basic emotional needs for connection and belonging. It's a thought-provoking work for those interested in the intersection of technology and human responsibility. Highly recommended!

About the author
Sci-Fi to boost your critical thinking. My favorite!
If you appreciate hand-made goods, and enjoy aspects of life with a human story behind, this novel will hit a core for you. And if you enjoy contemporary Sci-Fi, add this one to your queue. I enjoyed reading and exploring what a near future could *feel* like. I am sure many of us have wondered ‘what will happen to me if this Artificial Intelligence revolution makes my profession obsolete?’. I loved how the novel guided me through a journey of exploration of those heavy ‘what ifs’ in a light hearted and deeply human way. There are many leitmotifs of relevant interest for me: AI ethics, Labor, Work-Life balance, Biopolitics, Post-humanism, Climate Change, among others. My favorite by far, is the trope of critical thinking. You can connect with different characters through this basic life skill. This book will allow you to exercise your critical thinking muscle at a time when it is such a scarce and heavily necessary skill for humans as we enter the late Anthropocene.

The book follows Bert and Alex as they navigate a world where AI is in the process of taking over all human jobs, making work obsolete.Ma S.Fun exploration of what the future might look like
Reviewed in Sweden on October 26, 2024
What stood out to me was how detailed the characters were. The book explores their past and how it impacts their beliefs and the choices they make. The personal journeys of Bert and Alex (as well as the side characters) definitely made me reflect on how my own identity is connected to my work and what gives me joy and purpose.
I also appreciated how thoroughly the author built this future world. From the daily lives of people involved in the Human Relief Project (and those impacted by it) to the ripple effects on policy and how governments got involved, the level of detail was immersive. The story spans over two decades, offering insights and excerpts from different points in time and different perspectives, so I felt that as a reader I was connecting the dots as I was understanding the context the characters are in, which is a very fun experience.
In the last third of the book, the pace picks up with many events unfolding quickly, which kept me turning pages. After I finished the book, I kept thinking about how our world might look in 30 years, and it got my own thoughts and imagination running. If you're interested in exploring the human side of technological change and enjoy stories that make you think about the future, I'd definitely recommend this book.
