Critic Reviews

"Our children hear many reasons to be afraid of the future, and not many to be hopeful. THE CHILDREN’S BOOK OF THE FUTURE is a beautiful, ideas-packed introduction to a world to look forward to - a world we can all help to make." (Sumit Paul-Choudhury)
“The only thing wrong with the Children’s Book of the Future is that it didn't exist fifty years ago! If it had, I’d have gulped it down. Right here and now, though, one couldn't ask for a more vibrant, engaging and downright fun guide to the world of tomorrow. It’s unfashionably optimistic and I love it for that. Lavie and Richard have done the future proud.” (Alastair Reynolds)
“Eye-opening, funny and visually delightful! Perfect for young readers and families to explore together, The Children’s Book of the Future is a must-have for anyone who dreams of what tomorrow might bring.” (Chen Qiufan)
“Amazing and astounding: a kaleidoscope of marvellous and inspiring futures. This is a book to lose yourself in.” (Prof. Adam Roberts)
