The Children of Men by P.D. James
4.0

Distinctly British and akin to the country’s history of gloomy sci-fi, “The Children of Men” feels like an excellent step into the genre. Its willingness to avoid discussions of advanced technology and instead opting for a more grounded perspective, solidifies the story as one that feels almost timeless. At once it can feel like the past and another like the future, which would be confusing if it wasn’t for PD James making the lead a historian.

It’s a great book, at first pensive and then riveting in its tension. Definitely a worth while read.
