More time travelling adventures!
We learn the true origin of the ‘old timers’ in this volume - and I have to say, it was a bit of a shock!
The girls are still in the future - and what a future it is! The people seem to have their own language, police officers are on flying motorbikes and seem to hand out immediate judgements (Judge Dredd, anyone?).
Of course lots more happens, but I don’t really want to say anything. Suffice to say, it’s shocking, the girls continue to be badasses, and we meet some old friends. And I want to ride a pterodactyl.

Minority Report- is a excellent movie. The action, the sci-fi, the future, the plot, the cast, etc. Also Steven Spilberg directs it, so thats a plus.

The plot: Based on a story by famed science fiction writer Philip K. Dick, "Minority Report" is an action-detective thriller set in Washington D.C. in 2054, where police utilize a psychic technology to arrest and convict murderers before they commit their crime. Tom Cruise plays the head of this Precrime unit and is himself accused of the future murder of a man he hasn't even met.

A excellent movie.

A thought provoking, dystopian world.

Our planet, inhabitable and dying. Population Zero pushes you to think about the future, about how our actions have consequences that reach far beyond our own front yard.
    It made me feel sad and had me thinking of how easily things can change.
     I'll be honest, none of the possible worlds described held any appeal at all. None of them hold hope of any type of survival but all of them get you to question your actions in the here and now.

An ideal young adult read to open up discussions about the future of our planet.
