Editorial Book Review:

By Oscar Miller

Peter Solomon's 100 Years to Extinction: The Tyranny of Technology and the Fight for a Better Future is a remarkable work that blends scientific insight with gripping narrative to answer one of our most pressing questions: can humanity survive the next century? Solomon draws readers into a scientifically plausible, viscerally immediate, and ethically complex world from the start. His writing is clear and precise, weaving technical concepts into a compelling story without losing momentum. The writing balances urgency and reflection, allowing action and introspection to coexist.

The book is primarily concerned with the in-depth exploration of human responsibility, ingenuity, and power. Solomon examines the dual nature of transformative technologies, such as nuclear energy, genetic engineering, artificial intelligence, and fossil fuels. He illustrates how innovations that are intended to advance civilization can pose substantial risks when they are not properly managed. The novel also delves into the human aspects of crisis, such as the moral decisions that influence character under pressure, creativity, and courage. Liz Arvad and her allies inspire readers to reflect on the personal and societal repercussions of confronting existential threats, resulting in a narrative that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally resonant.

The impact of 100 Years to Extinction is both sobering and invigorating. Readers are compelled to confront the tangible repercussions of current decisions and to contemplate their own role in influencing the future. The book instills a sense of urgency and optimism, illustrating the continued importance of collective action, courage, and insight in the human race's quest for survival and prosperity.

Peter Solomon's writing is intellectually rigorous, morally probing, and deeply engaging, characterized by his narrative skill, insight, and authority. 100 Years to Extinction is not only an engaging read, but also a clarion call to action, encouraging readers to comprehend, confront, and address the forces that are influencing our shared future. It is a compelling demonstration of the influence of ethical responsibility, imagination, and knowledge.

About the Author

Peter Solomon

Peter Solomon is a scientist, author and entrepreneur who is devoted to passing on his love for the many wonderful science stories to the younger generation through the media they like best. He believes that integrating science concepts into exciting stories is the best way for children to learn. The birth of his twelfth grandchild was the inspiration for The STARDUST MYSTERY book. The child characters in the story explore the creation of their atoms through time and space travel adventures in the Beamer Virtual World. Solomon was asked by his young book reviewers to create a virtual world that they could use. This inspired a National Science Foundation project to create video games and the Stardust Mystery YouTube channel for science videos to accompany the book. The characters in the story, games and videos were inspired by his grandchildren.

The theme of the story is: We are made of STARDUST that was once in the body of Albert Einstein and the last T-Rex. This is true. We each have more than 300 trillion carbon atoms that once belonged to, and were exhaled by Einstein, and more than 5,000 trillion that were once in each T-Rex that roamed the Earth. And those atoms were created in the end of life explosions of stars during the evolution of the universe and shared during the history of planet Earth. This book is about that story.

Peter Solomon holds a Ph.D. in physics from Columbia University. He lives in Connecticut with his wife Sally Moshein Solomon. Sally and two of their children, Jeff Solomon, and Joanne Solomon, took part in inspiring and creating the book. Solomon is working on a second book called The Race to the Big Bang.
