The author Welekwe takes on a big task. He wants to look at human evolution and how technology has changed us, but he looks at it all through the lens of Christian beliefs. This is a different take compared to the more secular views in books like Sapiens and Homo Deus by Yuval Noah Harari. Welekwe, who knows a lot about technology and is deeply religious, takes a close look at the tech world today. He sees its benefits but is also really worried about what it means for our morals and spirituality.
Welekwe builds his arguments on the idea that the Bible is completely true, and he uses this to judge and often criticize modern science and tech. This way of arguing makes sense if you're into Christian apologetics, but it might not click with people who don't share those beliefs since it's more about faith than hard facts.
What really makes the book stand out is its heartfelt message. Welekwe is calling for people to find a deeper sense of purpose and meaning, something a lot of us are looking for in a time filled with so much doubt. His writing is easy to get into and really sincere, making this book an interesting read, especially for those who are looking for something that mixes faith with discussions about technology and the future.

It is a reminder that each of us has the power to make a difference, both individually and collectively.
Beyond its environmental themes, It challenges us to reevaluate our consumption habits, rethink our relationship with nature, and cultivate a greater sense of mindfulness towards our surroundings. By drawing parallels between the fictional world of the book and our own reality, Agarwal encourages readers to embrace sustainability as a guiding principle in their lives.

Wow, "Reversal!" by Raj Agrawal was a page turner from the first page to the last! "Reversal!" is the second book in a trilogy. Even though I have not read the first book, " Not For Sale!", I never felt that I was lost in this novel. I am looking forward to reading the first and last book (when it comes out). Quite often, I find myself lost in scientific novels, due to the language, lack of explanation, and my lack of knowledge. This was definitely not the case with "Reversal!". Mr. Agrawal, did an amazing job of breaking down the scientific aspect of this novel (which I'm sure can be difficult with someone of his background and education), so that even a novice like me could understand it. The characters are interesting and engaging and the plot is second to none! I highly recommend adding this novel to your tbr list. I would love to see this trilogy turned into a major motion picture!
