Quarter Finalist

Assessment:

Plot/Idea: The author poses big, esoteric questions about the universe and humankind's role in it, offering up hypotheses in response in this theoretical treatise. While the topic is interesting and the theories put forth are worth pondering, the author could give more context as to the goal of the work. The book would also benefit from a foreword or introduction to give the reader context.

Prose: The author is a clear and concise writer who is able to put forth ideas in a confident and detailed manner. This is a high-level written project, and the style is appropriate for this type of work.

Originality: This is a very original work which puts forth the author's individual perspective on the subject matter.

Character Development/Execution: Devoid of traditional "characters," the focus here is on Humankind with a capital H and the Universe. Both are vast topics and impossible to "know," but the author does an effective job putting forth an informed hypothesis on the future.
