Being an avid bookworm for most of my life, I have already explored a spectrum of genres in young adult literature. However, today I will be focussing on the modern craze—science fiction. Science fiction has been on the rise since the mid-nineteenth century due to rapid developments in science and technology. The imaginations of many…
Part I: The Planet This is our reality. Work planet after work planet, each populated by one single individual. A gargantuan drill armed with various powerful lasers ensures that previously grandiose landscapes are stripped in a matter of months. One machine per person. One person per planet.
