Earth’s Ecocide: Extinction 3147 by David A. Collier is a science fiction novel based in the future year of 3147. Humans have destroyed the Earth by polluting and altering the climate's atmosphere, making it nearly uninhabitable. The remaining humans reside in an underground world known as Ridge City. The city is run by Ula Torg, the mayor. Ula and her husband, Tal Torg, do their best to lead the citizens and protect them from the dangers of the robots who roam what they call the Upside (the surface of the Earth). The Upside is controlled by DORG and the Imperium robots. These robots have no use for humans and believe they are an inferior species not fit to live on Earth.

Ula faces a terrible dilemma. Ridge City is running out of helium-3 fuel. This fuel is needed to run the electricity and oxygenate the city. Without it, everyone will die. Ula forms a plan to steal fuel from the Imperium to save the citizens. This plan involves her son, Yot, and the city’s police officer, Koa, and her dog, Jax. As well as their robot companions, JORT and STX. Together they must face the powerful robots and sweltering heat. The Earth’s temperature has risen to a staggering 119 degrees Fahrenheit and higher in North America. The land is desolate and full of alligators and snakes. Can Ula and her team steal the needed fuel to keep the Ridge City citizens alive?

David A. Collier does an incredible job of captivating the reader's imagination through this novel. I felt transported through time as I read the perspectives of Ula, Yot, Tal, Koa, and even Jax. I thought it was really intriguing the author included the perspective of Jax, Koa’s dog. The descriptions and information described were quite in-depth and futuristic. It was fascinating to envision what might happen to Earth so many years into the future. It certainly made me think about the consequences of our actions as a species and how we have already damaged the ecosystem.

I rate this book five out of five stars. I could truly see this book being turned into a sci-fi movie someday. The storyline was well written, and the descriptions of the characters were defined and interesting. There isn’t anything I would change about this book. I would recommend this book to those interested in science fiction novels.

The story might be a sort of sequel to the Terminator saga with the human survivors finding a sort of sanctuary underground while robots rules on the surface. The novel also stresses the consequences of polluting the Earth projecting those consequences into a far future. Thank you for your great review!

“Earth’s Ecocide: Extinction 3147” by David A. Collier presents a gripping vision of a future where humanity’s environmental neglect has rendered Earth’s surface uninhabitable, forcing survivors into underground refuges. The narrative follows Ula Torg, the mayor of Ridge City, as she confronts dwindling helium-3 fuel reserves essential for the city’s survival. Collier masterfully intertwines themes of environmental degradation, artificial intelligence, and human resilience, crafting a story that is both a cautionary tale and a testament to human ingenuity. The inclusion of diverse perspectives, including that of a loyal canine companion, adds depth to the storytelling. This novel not only entertains but also prompts reflection on our current environmental trajectory and its potential long-term consequences.
