Heaven 2.0 by: Scott Haworth

Heaven 2.0

About the Book:

Having been born in the 28th century, Mike Kepler never believed in the existence of Heaven or Hell. The myths of the old faiths had been abandoned and replaced with the teachings of The Church many centuries earlier. The young physicist is shocked to learn that there is an afterlife when he is recruited by the Taipei Corporation. It was created by a team of scientists rather than God.

Mike’s job is to travel to the past and save people at the time of their deaths using advanced medical technology. The individuals are then brought back to the 28th century, judged on the sins they committed and sentenced to an eternity in the artificial Heaven or Hell. Mike quickly learns that the project is far less noble than it appears. He discovers that many of the people sentenced to eternal torment in Hell do not deserve their fate.

My Thoughts:

I am not really sure where to begin here. The plot of Heaven 2.0 is one like no other I have ever read before.  Simply put, future people go back in time and save people at the moment of their death. They are brought into the future to be judged. Once judged they will go to either a virtual reality Heaven, one of the layers of Hell, or their very own Hell which has been specialized just for them (got your attention didn’t I?)

The characters are all very well put together with all of the small minor details that make all the difference in the world there. The settings are simply wonderful as well. Heaven 2.0 is on Mars which makes everything seem more real in the sense that you could easily see this happening sometime in the future. I will say that reading all of the different layers and rooms in Hell were more than fascinating  For example there is a poop room! That is all I am going to say, you have to read the book for yourself to get all the details.

I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

  1. This sounds really interesting and I like your review. I’ll have to get it a read! Thanks! Looking for new books.

  2. this book seems really interesting. not heard of a plot like that either. not sure it is up my ally or not. will have to read a little more on it. thanks.

  3. I need to read more books – I am always starting and never finishing books. the plot seems like my kind of thing, may have to become a book worm, why not eh! haha

  4. This books looks nice, very interesting but i will have to read for a opinion more strong 🙂

  9. This actually sounds like something I would read…… I am a longtime fan of Dante’s Inferno and this puts a futuristic twist on on. Interesting it is referred to as a virtual Heaven or Hell though!

  10. Sounds like a modern-day version of Dante’s Inferno, in a way. Not a big fan of the title, though.

  11. What an interesting premise for a book! I find a lot of variety in the sci-fi genre of books, but I’ve never come across anything like this. I’m really curious now and would love to get a copy for myself to read. I like how you said it has detail and well developed characters; those are always a plus in my eyes! Thanks for the review, I’ll definitely add Heaven 2.0 to my must-read list!

  12. Sounds slightly Matrix-y to me, in a good way. I’m a sucker for sci-fi (even though my husband teases me mercilessly for it). This may have to go on my vacation reading list!

  13. Definitely a plot line I haven’t heard before! I am not usually a fan of this type of story but the link to Heaven & Hell makes it interesting.
