I wrote this book, so I may be a bit biased.
The book is unusual. It's "science" and "fiction" so perhaps it's science fiction. But there are no aliens, and no warp drive. No space opera. No time travel. These are stories of people living their lives in the coming one hundred years and dealing with the things humans have always dealt with—war, poverty, disease, and each other. Stories of triumph and despair. But with some new tech and some new opportunities.
The book has a diverse set of characters (non-recurring, each of the twenty stories introduces new characters), in diverse settings—6 stories set in the US, the rest set around the world.
I hope you have a chance to read the book and share your thoughts about it.
