EEEK I love books so much, especially books that seem to call out what is currently going on...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5 (rounded up to 5 stars)
I loved this! Journey to 2125 is a story that follows a family, and all those immediately affected by and those that affect the family, over the course of several generations. The book goes back and forward in time, allowing us to slowly connect the dots of the story at the same time that the youngest generation of the family, referred to as Grand by his grandfather Max, does.
More so than the writing style, I loved the progression of the story. What was written as speculative science-fiction felt scarily like a prediction for the future, especially with the recent uprising of generative-Ai-tools.
The story followed all sorts of people affected by the sudden overtaking of robots and AI, including those negatively affected by it, those encouraging it, and those just wanting to live their lives.
I adored the usage of new vocabulary, and grew to become excited every time I saw an unrecognised word.
My only critique was that at moments the book felt confusing and convoluted, which made powering through a bit tricky, but everything made sense in the end, so the critique is not worth minusing a star.
Thank you Netgalley so so so much for the digital ARC, I really, really did enjoy it!
