2060: a love story in a utopian future

by Janette Rainwater

The year is 2060, and women have been struggling for fifty years to find a cure for the virus that attacked the Y chromosome and obliterated the male population. With the careful management of sperm banks, women have kept the human race alive and achieved a multi-racial society. A genetic amendment of the Y chromosome has enabled experimental groups of boy babies to survive. Now young men sequestered from civilization are slowly beginning to emerge, challenging society to rethink gender equity. In the rich tradition of feminist writers, Janette Rainwater draws on current events as she envisions a future with a powerful and provocative new world order. "2060 joins the post-apocalyptic genre of Doris Lessing and Ursula Le Guin. Janette Rainwater shows us the resiliency of human nature and the power of free thought and caring communities to sustain our species."-Sharon Melnick Chinook, MD"Janette Rainwater's got it all-up-to-the-minute political savvy and the human insight of a career psychologist, plus panache, wit, and charm."-Alicia Bay Laurel, author and illustrator of Living on the Earth"Not only is this a delightful read, it is food for thought as we all face other potential world crises."-Cyndy Sheldon, gestalt psychotherapist

So basically what happened is that this author had a dream, then installed Grammarly, and wrote the story, and then sent it for publishing. And I dont know how it got published. My problems with this book:

1. There is no physical characterization or description whatsoever.

2. For such a big event like I wanted to really go inside Teddy's mind and see his struggles and thoughts but instead it fell flat.

3. Its kinda really unrealistic. Its too idealistic and I have a hard time believing the world.

4. There would be times when the characters mention someone and that someone just pops in out of nowhere.

5. And so much more

Seeing the blurb I was really looking forward to the book but I was really disappointed. Someone plz write this story better.
