"Illustrations and text unite to sketch out human history and to make suggestions for a more human future . . . in a whimsical, gorgeously illustrated package. A beautifully rendered, determinedly optimistic, zoomed-out meditation on the human condition." Kirkus Reviews
"The text . . . forms an integral part of the art and layouts and conveys a sense of movement and energy. The vivid pink-and-purple palette feels both electric and ethereal, providing an appropriately novel texture to a work about seeking the new and unexpected. It s the perfect gift for anyone at a turning point in their own life." Publishers Weekly
