An adventure that also raises questions about our impact on the environment and the consequences of our actions on future generations. I like this book and enjoyed getting to know the characters.
‘KID: A History of the Future’ is a science-fiction that follows teen Joshua Jones, aka ‘Kid’ in a world where Virtual Reality has become actual Reality for millions, with those left living in the pollution, climate change and terroism-devastated wastelands that were once our major cities known as Offliners. Discovering an old phone that allows him to communicate with Isabel Parry, a teen living in 2021, Kid might just be able to change the world.
Combining time travel and the butterfly effect, this book has a very interesting concept. I fell into the Kid’s world immediately and I think that the author has done a brilliant job at creating a backstory and environment for the story to take place. I like the idea of The Upload and how that could have been sold as a brilliant lifestyle. I also like the integration of recognisable social media platforms. I think these two concepts can be linked, the more time progresses the more everyone seems to live and post their lives on social media, and I loved the sci-fi continuation of this until people are sold on the idea of living completely in a simulation.
