"My Family and the End of Everything succeeds because it understands that apocalypse is not only an event but a series of choices... Graves crafts a novel that feels both intimate and systemic."

-Independent Book Review

"This is one of those books that feels quiet while you're reading it - and then very loud in your head afterward. I went in expecting a more traditional sci-fi dystopia: smart homes, neural implants, generational timelines, the sun literally going dark. And yes, all of that is here. But what surprised me most is how personal it feels. The novel is structured as a collection of short stories that tell family histories. Each story stands on its own, with its own setting, tone, and central character, but they're stitched together by bloodlines, history, and a shared looming reality: the slow unraveling of humanity under the weight of technology, time, and its own ambition."

"Full of irony and spirituality, as well as plausible future scenarios, Graves' book is a mind-bender. The reader will have difficulty at times discerning who is the villain and who is the hero. And sometimes even the question of who is more moral, more sentient is up for grabs-the robots or the humans? the humans or their clones? Like all compelling science fiction, Graves' book is comprised of both bitter medicine and the hope and grace, however small at times, that makes that pill sweeter and easier to digest." - Jim Hodnett, Ph.D., Retired psychologist, former Ohio Writers Association board member, author of Trophy Husband.

"This is speculative fiction at its finest; it focuses not on flashy events, but on the delicate, bright connections that define our humanity. It is a beautiful and thought-provoking reflection on how the end of the world also involves family."

"It feels like a book length prayer, which only the author could formulate with his unique reverence for Mother Earth, and for God. It will remain a prayer-long after technology has separated us from ourselves, and nature, and especially, from God. As such, it isn't just another grim SF look into a future technological wasteland: "My Family and the End of Everything" is a manifesto of hope."

"Each segment of the Profeta timeline leads the reader to a deeper glimpse into what makes us all human and the consequences of our way of life. Joe Graves explores themes of scarcity, stewardship of the Earth, equality, and human rights-all within the scope of a plausible future for the solar system. "
