Hello From 2030

by

Hello From 2030 is an awesome futuristic book by Jan Paul Schutten. It sort of looks like a textbook. At 180 pages, it’s definitely a longer read.

It’s great for ages 9 and above, especially. It includes lots of interesting tidbits about future technology, food, robots, etc. I think it’d be an especially good book to read in honor of Earth Day.

Here are just a few of the topics this book explores:

  • Power from kites that are high up in the air where it’s windier
  • Local food production
  • Homes of the future
  • Being more earth-friendly in the future, not because we want to be, but because we’ll have to be
  • Amount of water used for different products (for example, it takes about 925 gallons of water to grow a half pound of beef)
  • Foods that look and taste like meat will be more common
  • Being healthier in some ways because of advances in diagnosing health issues
  • Cars that recognize each other “I’m braking suddenly ahead of you”

If these topics sound interesting to you, hopefully you get a chance to read this book. I was able to find it at my local library. It’s truly fun to imagine what the year 2030 and beyond will be like!

  2. Hi there! I’m visiting from the Booknificent Thursday link-up, and just wanted to say this book looks AWESOME! I teach junior high ELL and I think this book touches on excellent topics… it might be a little above their reading level right now but I’m adding it to my list! Thank you!

  3. Hi, thanks for sharing this fun book with the #LMMLinlup. It is a fascinating look at the future and I love the fun response sheet you included.

  4. Wow! This book sounds fascinating! How much of it did you feel was realistic and how much felt like science fiction? Thanks for sharing this post at Booknificent Thursday on Mommynificent.com!

    • Great question, Tina! I felt most of it was very realistic, particularly because many of the predictions are based on concepts that are already being developed now. One of the most intriguing books I’ve read in awhile! Carrie
