Science Fiction lovers, read this

Consuming Romance is a story from future (2143) which starts from the authoritarian lifestyle of the people on the red plant i.e Mars. People on this planet are bound to live within walls of their houses, where Amor; the leader instruct them what to do & when to do through the technology. Looking upon the larger part of this weird lifestyle, that is when people were made to sit and watch a sequence of romance, daily.

People on Mars are not recognised with any gender, rather everyone here is indicated as the plural; which was actually sort of confusing in the beginning, but it got fluent after few pages. The story takes a dip, when suddenly an error in system freed all the beings and they stepped out of those walls in a larger open area. That was the place where Alpha and Delta first met; with all the unanswered questions and lot of confusion, finally Gamma’s arrival led them all to Earth.

Taking the path of a conical shape, the story takes the weirdness to the peak and then quench that thrust with rather a basic logical answer in the end. The metaphors used, to indicate what humans are capable of doing to our mother earth in upcoming years is concerning; author bought the crucial issues of current times, like how deep we are in the pit of technology, how deeply we are effecting the climate etc; through his character’s conversations. The love story between Alpha and Delta was naïve and it went all in a woof, when the story takes a sudden twist.

Writing is general yet engrossing. By mixing the science and love part, author made his story stand out. I will recommend this to all the Sci-fi lover; go ahead mess your head and then in the end, you will surely like it.

📖About the Book -
🍁A book with a unique concept & a unique story.
🍁Welcome to the future where animals talk, yes animals.
🍁And you get toothpaste in chocolate flavor... Yumm..
🍁Ok so the story starts with Bolbo the cat asking questions to Alpha for the reasons of 'their' despair.
🍁Well the concept of me & they is very important is very important in this book.
🍁Alpha then tells the whole story of what happened.
🍁World in 2143 is ruled by Amor.
The system though hi-tech & well developed, had robotic mechanism. Human beings were allowed to function according to a set of rules only.
🍁On waking up you get sharp lights flickered on all the walls but only in shades of blue.
Bedsheets tighten up themselves after you leave the bed.
🍁A certain genre of music was allowed to be set up as alarm ringtone.
🍁A break of only 30 minutes was allowed, and if you slept while on work mild electric shocks would be used to wake you up.
🍁The story then moves to stories of consuming romance being initiated by Amor.
🍁And it was on one such occasion that people realised amor has left leaving delta, alpha behind.
🍁And of course there is beta & gamma too....
🍁The creative thinking process of the author is commendable.
🍁Read the book to know what happened to the planet? What was the story of alpha & delta? What was life on mars or moon or earth? How did Bolbo help? What's actually consuming existence all about?
