James Pearce

Fantasy not Science Fiction
Reducing the cost of electricity and only electricity generated at fixed locations by large central power plants by eliminating fuel costs would not generate the income needed to advance technology as far and as fast as the author indicated. Also some of the technology talked about would not develop at all in a society with more disposable income, not less. Old energy inefficient methods would prevail, not new ones. People could afford to maintain there old ways. And most notably, cities would not become bigger and buildings taller, as land would become cheaper as there would be less of a need for land to produce biofuels and energy intensive hydroponic food production would be cheap. Also, batteries no matter how cheap the cost of electricity at the outlet don’t magically become tiny and efficient. If anything, cheap power at the plug would stop there development as most appliances and electrically powered devices would stay or become energy hogs. In reality, cheap electricity would mean single pane picture windows in the living rooms of large ranch houses without insulation sprawled across former farm land no longer needed or used as most good would be grown indoors, both plants and animals in the manner of factories even more so than today. And the idea of robots replacing people defied economic logic as people writ large would be too cheap to replace as electricity is a minor part of the cost of robots and low cost electricity still wouldn’t make them low cost. Star Wars makes more sense than this book,

Don't waste your time with this book!
I checked out this book from my local public library because it was rated 5 stars in this web site. It was disappointing! The first few chapters of the book are filled with middle-school type sexual stories. Just when you think the main character is done telling you about making out with a girl when he was a teenager, here comes the next story. If you are looking for an entertaining, sci-fi, travel story THIS BOOK IS NOT IT!
Shallow, stupid, lacking depth and creativity. Don't bother picking up this book. It is annoying that this book has many good reviews. Ugh!
