All our wrong todays by elan mastai7/4/2023 Nonetheless, I felt compelled enough to stick with it until the end, much in the same way as I've felt compelled in the past to keep watching any of a number of cheesy science fiction films I happened up flipping through late night television. Even Lionel Goettreider, the man who made The Future possible, is more a caricature than a character (view spoiler). None of the other characters are especially three dimensional either. Worse, there is no particularly satisfying character arc for any version of the main character. This perhaps could have been rescued if the narrator grew in perspective and insight as the narrative unfolded, but it never happens. The idea that unlimited energy would somehow magically result in a utopia is frankly risible it feels like the juvenile fantasy of an unimaginative mind. The alternate future it envisions is hollow and uninteresting, and the author spends virtually no time in explaining how it came about. The premise had promise, and some of the ideas were interesting enough, but it was not very well conceived or constructed. You know the future that people in the 1950s imagined wed have Well, it happened. Maybe a two and a half? I won't say I regret reading this, exactly, or that I was bored by it, but I certainly wouldn't recommend it to anyone. by Elan Mastai (Author) 205 ratings See all formats and editions Hardcover from £18.95 Other used and collectible from £18.95 Paperback £60.48 Other used from £58.44 Theres no such thing as the life youre 'supposed' to have.
