For a one-person project, All Tomorrows is absolutely incredible. Kosemen envisions what would happen if human beings were genetically engineered by a race of superior space aliens, then left to evolve on their own over hundreds of millions of years. His creatures and narrative are highly creative, and the quality of his illustrations is very good. Many of the post-humans presented in the book are very memorable, with my favorite being the Pterosapiens. My issues are with the book's presentation—the writing and formatting prevent complete immersion in Kosemen's imagined worlds, and the book absolutely would have benefitted from the help of a professional editor. I would be very excited to see a new edition with revised text and illustrations, but as it currently stands, All Tomorrows is better experienced through Alt Shift X's summary on YouTube, which covers all important details from the book.
