Critics Review
An important book as well as a good one. A really significant contribution to our discussion of the future … Becker’s book is very entertaining as it exposes how the emperor has no clothes – Kim Stanley Robinson, author of THE MINISTRY FOR THE FUTURE
With a wild and utterly engaging narrative, Becker gives us a refreshing reality check on the fantasies of billionaires, futurists and utilitarian philosophers who are plotting to “optimize” the future of humanity. A fascinating exposé
– Melanie Mitchell, author of ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: A GUIDE FOR THINKING HUMANSI love this book. Becker has become our greatest prophet of doom – Errol Morris, documentary filmmaker and author of THE ASHTRAYOur world has fallen into the clutches of billionaires who mistake dystopian science-fiction stories for suggestions, rather than warnings. Speaking in my capacity as a dystopian science-fiction writer, I can confirm that this isn’t merely very stupid, it’s also very, very bad – Cory Doctorow, author of RED TEAM BLUES and LITTLE BROTHERDisconcerting … More Everything Forever is a disturbing and important book – New ScientistSmart and wonderfully readable … Amid [Becker’s] sharp criticisms of the tech figures he writes about is a resolute call for compassion. He encourages us not to get hung up on galaxies far, far away but to pay more attention to our own fragile planet and the frail humans around us – New York TimesAbout The Author
