If you are comfy with just recycling your soda cans and want to continue to believe that your children and grandchildren will have roughly the same experience with this planet as you have had, then this book and the rest of the Percipience series may not be for you. Through this fast paced eco-fiction series, the author lightly touches on key points of our relationship with the planet and the growing urgency for each of us to take action to avoid a much darker future for our children.
The story line of 2022, revolves around a world-wide threat made by an eco-terrorist organization and the efforts to stop them while at the same time setting up a large scale experiment for sustainable living. The book combines murder, espionage, romance and revenge into the fictional story while exploring the urgency of global issues we face in real life.
This book, along with the others in the Percipience series are not just meant to entertain and to raise awareness of important issues. They are also aim to act as a catalyst to get the reader to think and motivate them to take individual actions to help with these worldwide problems.
From the back cover of 2022...
Using an uncanny ability to harvest information to predict the future, philanthropist Richard foresees a dark future for the human race. This future is exacerbated by the return of cold-war-like tensions, sophisticated terrorist organizations, and new controls on information flow.
He believes he knows what needs to be done to reverse the trend, but can it be achieved in time, even with the resources at his disposal? Should he turn to terrorism to make it work? And if he's wrong, and his plan backfires, will it mean the end of most, or all, of the human race?
2022 Percipience Book 1 eBook Ken Kroes
This was a thought-provoking, if flawed, book. I like near-future ecofiction and I like playing around in fiction with utopias, dystopias, and planned communities. Kroes’ ideas about these concepts are worth pursuing. How can you set up sustainable communities? Who pays for it? Who gets to (or has to) live there? How can you plan for these communities to last through what you expect will be a grim future? I wish more of the book had been devoted to questions like this.I found the character development a little underwhelming. I didn’t believe Olivia would have been chosen for a top-secret microbiology project. Mikhail came across as a dork rather than an evil genius. It was almost comical that Diane and Olivia didn’t recognize the misnamed Hope before she burned down their trailer. And Spencer was completely mysterious to me–he seemed to just fit into whatever box the author needed at the moment: spy, dupe, model, love interest, puppy . . . None of the characters had a particularly unique voice, except for Sue, sometimes, which made the story periodically confusing, especially with all the head-hopping.
But simply viewing the characters as blank slates brings the reader up against the inconvenient truths the novel wants to examine: we humans are vulnerable and our behavior usually makes the problem worse. The institutions we expect to protect us, even the good guys, have their limits. And stress and danger make people do stupid, craven things. This book will stay with me longer than it deserves to based on the writing alone. It depicts is a future we want to avoid, made more frightening because it is populated by people who are so ordinary and banal.

2022 Percipience Book 1 eBook Ken Kroes Reviews
A very good book with a good story line and strong characters. I really enjoyed it!
This story has so many twists and turns don't put it down for too long or you will get lost!
I really enjoyed this idea for helping Mother Nature possibly recover from all of the abuse humanity has done to her.
Guess I will definitely have to acquire the rest of the story.
It was OK and I read the whole book. I have started a story before, but it just slowly died and I have closed the book. This one had me hooked and kept it going. Now to the plot, I doubt the government would have even seen it coming. Let alone stand a chance of stopping it.
This is not quite the caliber of "1984" but it is just as timely and on point. The conspiracy theory set forth goes so far beyond the implementation of "big brother" technology that it is hard to discuss without dropping spoilers. 2022 is well worth the short reading time. Like a good hot tamale, it isn't too hot while you read it... but it comes back flaming to haunt you for a long while after you finish it.
Even though this is a near future science fiction/ thriller, it made me think deeply about how our future will unfold. Especially with terrorists making attacks all over the world, I have read in the news that ISIS already have access to chemical laboratories and scientists that are developing chemical weapons, this is crazy!!. This book is inspiring me to take action, we have to spread the word and stop terror, it is getting serious and people are already suffering. I recommended this book because I found it to be thought provoking.
I didn't see that coming! There are two huge surprised you will not believe. Not only is the story eerie in a way that it relates so closely to the kinds of issues that we face today where the goverment and environment are concerned, but, it is written in a way that makes it so believable. The story is suspenseful and the characters and situations are complex. It's full of twists and turns and I read the entire book in a little over four hours! I even had to step away from it for 15 minutes just to calm myself down because it turned my world upside down. I also found myself wanting to sign up for the colony. I received the entire series for my honest review. Later tonight I am gonna start on the next one. I look can't wait to read what's next!
The story of 2022 in itself is captivating and entertaining and, above all, very well-written. But what especially stood out to me is that it also does a great job of touching upon some real-world parallels that give many scenes quite a thought-provoking undertone. It’s an interesting blend, and also one that could have drastically went either way depending on its execution, but I think that Ken Kroes has pulled it off quite well and it’s a big part of why I enjoyed 2022 so much. To put it simply, this is the type of read that keeps you thinking about the themes discussed long after putting the book down.
There are a few appendices that I highly recommend not skipping over (I almost did purely out of habit) because they really help put into perspective what the author’s views are and what he is attempting to accomplish with the Percipience series. The arguments mentioned are clearly well-researched and show that the author really is competent on the matters he chooses to discuss, which I personally find to be quite refreshing. I will be checking out the other books in the series as soon as I have time.
