An unusual book. A pleasant change of pace

The ending drags out, but it’s a very touching and imaginative book for the first 90%.

A sort of “a day in the life of” but stretched over 30+ years.

Poorly read

Next time you prepare a book with much German vocabulary, get it checked before you release it. The mispronunciation of nearly every German word was annoying. Likewise, the Irish touch to the Indian dialect was not really amusing. Why not just read the book?

A great dystopia

This book is a good written dystopia because it is very close to the models of our future with the climate catastrophe.

Interesting ideas, weirdly written

I enjoyed the book a lot, very well performed. But it is not a linear book, and I found the different chapters sometimes confusing and weird. I recommend, but only for readers willing to experiment

Near future sci-fi on societal change caused by climate change

The story has many similarities to the Mars trilogy of KSR, however a somewhat worse image of the future without exploring the universe, only trying to solve climate change using politics and societal change.

The first half I found rather convincing, but when it went further into the future and communism became a core topic it often seemed less plausible.

Inspiring, depressing and hopeful, a cocktail of feelings fitting our time

Our world in the future with us cutting it very close with the climate catastrophe. Told from multiple perspectives.
The only real complaint I have is the pronounciation of German words since they are often impossible to understand as a native. Would therefore have preferred to read it.

Truly inspiring

The "best" visions of the future I have encountered. You can't change the world for the better if you can't imagine a better world!

Many interesting views on our future and a lot to think about after every chapter!

Something very different! Every chapter is unique in a way, the style of writing different for each chapter. You get lots of interesting points of view from very different people on the climate crisis, actual problems and how people could deal with them now and in the future. Although sometimes hard to follow, especially if English isn’t your native language, but the different voices for each character or ‚chapter theme‘ helps to follow along. At first I found it to be a little bit depressing/frightening (our earth currently dying because of climate change), but the book does propose many ways of improvement, changes being done and seeing the results in the end!

Lacking

Longwinded, disjointed, and preachy, with a protagonist thats boring and one-dimensional, TMftF contains some good ideas of how humanity might tread the path to a more symbiotic relationship with the planet's ecosphere, but being as steeped in ideology as it is, it is overly convinced that it knows precisely what that path will / should look like, which subsequently robs it of any real depth.
