Olası bir gelecekte geçen ve bugünün hatalarının olası kötü sonuçlarını ele alarak bugünü eleştiren, bugüne bir uyarı niteliği taşıyan romanlardan Güneş Gezegeni-Dış Dünya Gezisi. Bir bilimkurgu ya da distopik bir roman mı demeli! Yerli malı üstelik. Güneş Gezegeni’nde dünya kirlilik, doğal kaynakların hızlı ve yanlış tüketimi, küresel ısınma ve bunu takip eden su savaşları yüzünden kelimenin gerçek anlamıyla bitmiş-tükenmiş durumda. (Radikal Kitap)
