Court of the Grandchildren - book review

Court of the Grandchildren, written by Michael Muntisov and Greg Finlayson is a book set in future, is realistic and not sci-fi in the sense of technology dominating everything else.

In fact, a number of key characters prefer humans as compared to androids (AI based human-like robots), which are everywhere and available for all jobs.

Book review by Manoj Pandey
The book talks about climate change caused by the present generation and how it is judged three generations from now, and how their actions will be judged by their grandchildren. It shows how the best actions taken today (in the face of competing pulls and pressures) may not be enough to stop environmental disasters from happening. 

The book also explores human emotions and relations, especially in the age of androids. It is true that technology will start taking over all space in our homes, offices and society. Even for sex, there will be androids. Thus people will conduct themselves in ways that may be very different from today's. Even then, some may choose to take a human path - and that can be greatly fulfilling.

The book is well-written and the story is paced despite the authors attempting to tackle a serous issue.

I give the book ⭐⭐⭐ out of 5.
