Each book in the series is well written and illustrated and sneakily uses the graphic novel format to draw in both the non-interested reader as well as the reader operating at a lower reading level. For these reasons alone, the series would be worthwhile. But beyond this, the science is sound and the ideas are valuable for all students, regardless of reading level. Definitely a win-win-win for the teacher, the science, and the student!! Every middle school to early high school science teacher needs to have access to this set of books. A classroom set would be great but in the school library also works. A definite thumbs up for this series and each book individually. High interest and easy reading make the graphic novels a hit.-- NSTA Recommends Emphasizing how our past is crucial to determining our future, this unique set looks at how technology has changed over the last century and considers how continued technological advancements will affect life on Earth over the course of the next 100 years. Fictionalized futurologist Luna Li, the central character, helps a diverse group of students--and by extension, the audience--think critically about what is likely to continue and what could plausibly change in each volume's three distinct sections: Where Have We Been? Where Are We Going Next? and By the Year 2120. The graphic format is both entertaining and highly accessible, demystifying potentially complex ideas. . . .Thought provoking and engaging, this standout series would be a solid purchase to introduce readers to this relatively unfamiliar discipline.-- School Library Journal
