A plasuble future involving a future world war

4 stars

The story starts relatively slow, giving insight to the characters and the theme of the story. Stick with it, because after the foundation is laid, the story explodes into a foreseeable outcome that draws inspiration from current global tensions experienced in 2022.

A worthy read if you want to explore a realistic outcome based on current day, real world situations.

Review of '2034' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

I enjoyed this book about a possible next world war between the USA and China.
It serves as a warning how things can go wrong, very wrong.

It's also an interesting thought exercise on how things could play out in such a war.
It's only a bit annoying that he had to "invent" some bizar tech to give the Chinese the upper hand. Although wars are won with new tech it feels still a bit fantastic.

I love these near-future stories as they open my mind to possibilities of a future. If you;re the same, go read it. If not, read someone else.
