Review of Singularity
Posted: 21 Oct 2023, 06:47
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Singularity" by Jayme A. Oliveira Filho.]
There has always been a warning about the impending doom that would befall Earth if human activities were left unchecked. This book is set at the end of the twenty-first century and the beginning of the twenty-second century, and the earth is falling apart. The existence of mankind is at risk.
In Singularity, Jayme A. Oliveira Filho and Jayme S. Alencar write about Joseph, who conceived an ingenuous thought experiment that could save mankind. His theory relied on squeezing matter into a new universe through a black hole. Would his theory prove reliable and save mankind? Or would mankind go extinct? Grab a copy and find out in this thrilling sci-fi.
There are many positive aspects to this book. The book is short in length and very easy to read. In 106 pages, the authors are able to take us back to the beginning of human woes, the history of the Silva family, and the technological innovations that were made to find an alternate universe. The scientific jargon used in the book was moderate and not too complex to understand or follow.
The plot of the story is very relatable, not abstract. The book evolves around themes about humanity. The authors base their writings on the survival and preservation of humanity, an all-too-familiar subject matter. The possible destruction of the Earth due to pollution and the unchecked use of resources are topics everyone is familiar with. There has always been a call for conscious care and nurturing of the Earth. This book takes a leap into the future, where all hope is lost for Earth and a solution must be found before humanity goes extinct.
I also loved how there was a summary at the beginning of the book. It gave me an idea of what to expect. The book calls attention to vital human virtues like bravery, empathy, perseverance, faith, hard work, wisdom, determination, and consistency. Joseph made sure to impart these virtues to Daisy. Daisy and Tom made sure to impart these same virtues to Alexander. The only negative aspect of this book was the grammatical errors. With so many errors interrupting my reading flow, I believe that this book was definitely not professionally edited and could use some more editing.
I give this book a rating of 4 out of 5 stars. Despite the short length, the backdrop against which the story was built had no holes. I was impressed by how the authors traced the legacy of the Silva family, starting from the life story of Alexander's great-grandparents down to his parents. But for the errors, this book would have had a perfect rating. I recommend this book to lovers of science fiction, stories of short length, and books about alternate universes and technology.
