Dreams Before the Start of Time

Some novels transpire the full identity of their writers, and this left me with the feeling of being a prime example. There is an undeniable love for the written word, both in journalism and literature, travel, and art that is described too vividly to have been imagined and not felt.

Anne's fears, hopes, and dreams seem all transparently on display as she eloquently follows three generations of families on a show of potential futures for alternative pregnancies, family dynamics, and how much of trait and personality is carried over genetic information.

This is novel about people who never feel entirely fulfilled, complete, or at peace themselves - in as so much is the human condition. It presents some predictable future tech in an uncomplicated manner, while being written in accessible, unassuming prose.

Enjoyable.
