I really loved that concept: Earth becoming a gigantic city. Not that far fetched when you think about it. Not that I would like that, that's quite a bleak future if I go with what the authors wrote here! And yet, there was more hope than I thought. I was expecting distopian, sad, doom and gloom stories, and yeah, there's that. But even when it's dark, there was some sparks of hope. The majority of the stories anyway.

In general, I really liked this anthology. The concept also is nice: “1000 words in anthology spanning 1000 years”. I think the authors pulled it off very well. All stories do well together and we really have this sensation of unity, of reading one big story.

My only criticism would be about the Era 3, the third and last part of the book. Only 2 stories there, it made the end kinda rushed. But the stories themselves are excellent. I'm glad I've read this book. :)
