Email from the Future: Notes from 2084 by Michael Rogers
4.0
Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for offering this book as a free e-book.
I quite enjoyed this. It wasn't my usual read, but I found myself drawn to it. A mysterious email lands in someone's mailbox and when they decrypt it they find a bunch of essays written by a man called Aldus, claiming to be from the 2080s.
Aldus writes his essays to his grandson, Luca, telling him about the world and how much it's changed since the 2020s. It's more of a memoir than anything with Aldus talking about his life, meeting his wife Mariana and having Luca's dad. There are a few references to times past, covid being one and it was just really interesting to see an alternate world to the one we live in now.
Obviously we know that the events in this book won't come to pass as some of the things mentioned happening in 2020 haven't actually happened, but it was nice to pretend that they had.
