Real World Views in Books

Global Warming, pollution, over population, low level of fossil fuels, deforestation, and the list goes on. These are terms you have been hearing for awhile, ain’t it? With so much talk and worry about it why isn’t anything being done? You can look into the future of our ever so changing Earth and wonder if change is even possible at this point.

Science fiction writers have shown in many ways the possibilities of the future. In many stories you see Earth turning into a wasteland due to over population and pollution. The world as we know today is getting close to this, slowly. There is so much knowledge and possibilities out there, with that there is fear, but there is no action. We have seen time and time again the aftermath of a wasteland society due to over population in many science fiction novels.

Sooner or later, this world may become completely unrecognizable and way down the line, become unable to be sustainable for human life. In some science fiction stories, they put plots out that show examples of humans needing to be taken off Earth. Could this be possible in the future?

With this, you start to think more about how change needs to be done. Seeing the possibilities of the future will continue to push people to change before it is too late.
