Science Fiction

"Mandel does not believe that the work belongs to that genre, as the novel does not include any instances of fictional technology."

I suggest it be noted that that Mandel is incorrect in her understanding of what science fiction is. Technology being fictional is not a criterion. There is much science fiction in which the technology is entirely non-fictional. This book is undeniably science fiction--it is fiction built around science, which is what science fiction is--and it's strange that she would claim otherwise.

Apocalyptic Fiction would probably be the most accurate genre for this work. 12.53.92.222 (talk) 20:58, 11 January 2022 (UTC) SEF[reply]

General Feedback

The plot section of this article is a little bit confusing to read. Perhaps use a shorter sentence structure. Also, it may help to mention that the book jumps around between different characters and different timelines, and then either format the plot section with subsection's for each character's development, or summarize the story completely chronologically (from before year zero to when the book ends), and summarize what happens to each of the characters in those time sections.

It also may by meaningful to add a subsection to this article solely for the comic, the character of Dr. Eleven, and the importance that the comic has in connecting the characters and providing a bridge in the story.--Haricotsverts23 (talk) 05:15, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
