By looking at how we live today, the futuristic typography of 30 years later does not very differ significantly. Despite not being a fan of sci-fi, the scientific concepts are articulated in a way that is easily understood by all. The second instalment of the '2034' series delves into a political crisis in the US and its impact on technology within the nation.
The chain of events starts with the assassination of the American president, leading to a period of political turmoil. The world is in shock as they witness the first-ever remote assassination, sparking a catastrophic war between the United States and China, just as it did twenty years ago. The premises are fine but not character-driven. The result of biological and technological integration is a bit confusing which led to a vague ending. It jumps around too much and doesn't quite make sense. On top of that, this isn't a book where the world changes itself unless human activities cause damage either directly or indirectly. Humanity is paying the ultimate price.
