Why read it?
2 authors picked 2034 as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
First chapters shoot you forward and are terrifying. I found myself exclaiming out loud. My goodness what great pace and storytelling. Such a possible future pulled close to the reader with full force and shocking impact. Made me worry a great deal. But that is what good fiction - or any writing should do? Make the reader reappraise their assumptions and current understandings.
Even when dealing with serious matters, we all need to stretch our imaginations. Elliott Ackerman and James Stavridis’s novel did that for me, exploring with the expertise of a former US Marine and of a veteran of the US Navy quite how a modern war might break out and play out, with artificial intelligence, electronic warfare and, yes, nuclear weapons all playing a part in the scenario this novel sketched out.
From Bill's list on how to avoid WWIII starting in Asia.
