A History of What Comes Next

I'll be honest, the only thing I really took away from this book was confusion.

I didn't get much (read: any) of the science stuff, but I loved how the narrative was woven into real historical events. It could feel a bit like an info-dump at times, however, which felt like reading a textbook instead of a novel.

I didn't have an emotional connection with the characters, which made it feel like: why am I reading this book? But then something interesting would happen and keep me reading a little more. The cycle repeated until I eventually finished the book.

I wouldn't necessarily say I recommend this book, but I'll probably read the second book just because I'm curious.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
