A Heartfelt And Private Personal Conversation Between A Writer And A Not Yet-Lived Reader On Humanity’s Future.
Lillian Moore’s If You Exist: In Search Of A Reader Deep In The Future is a personal and heartfelt conversation between herself and an individual who has not yet come into life’s existence or may ever. Moats compares her personal message to “a note in a bottle set to see in hopes of reaching you, if you exist in the future on some unfathomable shore.” Within each page and chapter, Moats individually shares her reflections on where humanity is now. Henceforward, based on these choices that we make now may command how we will shape humanity’s future. Moats wishes that her not-yet-lived reader could answer her own questions about whether her anxieties have ever been resolved; and in doing so she conversates about climate change, human migration, racism, the COVID-19 Pandemic, and a number of other well validated concerns about the likelihoods of unrestrained technology and human redesign.
Carefully written with vigilant attention to detail, from the unusual conversation between herself and a nonexistent person to careful selection of prose throughout her book, Moats efficaciously produces elements of drama, love, ecstasies, unknowns, and uncertainty, within each chapter that is more than anticipated of a book of personal self-reflection. Furthermore, with the book’s format between an author and a reader (though not-yet in existence), Moats certainly relates to readers of any age, from the young adult to the middle aged professionals; and to the senior. This book will keep the reader intrigued throughout each page while taking the reader on an emotional road trip; not only within his or her own self-reflections on humanity but the fate of our generation’s future of humanity as well.
If You Exist will moreover gratify readers with Moat’s own personal self-contemplations and experiences of hilarity, sorrow, anxiety, self-skepticism, problems and apprehensions that will certainly relate to any reader’s own personal life’s experiences and doubts. This new book is one that doesn’t fall short of a true and heartfelt personal reflection. Moat’s new book is not only truly heartfelt but enduring; and will personally touch the heart of her readers seeking contemplation and some inspiration in their lives.
