2030: A Letter to My Grandson Kindle Edition

4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars 52 ratings

A nomadic political analyst realizes he will soon become a grandfather. So he decides to write a digital letter to his grandson-to-be; an intangible legacy, encompassing some lessons he learned from life. The letter can only be “opened” in 2030, when the grandson will be a teenager in a world in turmoil. Beginning with Bob Dylan and touching on techno, Keats, Maserati, Siddhartha, Shakespeare, Blake, Borges, Xuanzang and scores of other legacies, the author shares his experience and wisdom in a deeply cultured and tremendously moving ode to the beauty and richness of past and future worlds. A wonderful gift for any seeker.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 4, 2016
    The real value of this superb little tome is realising that we too can write our own version of 2030, there now being no greater gift that we can also bestow on our own grandkids. I will now be eternally grateful to Pepe for giving me the idea.
