Termination Shock

For once a properly thought out, coherent, and well paced (from start to end) book from Stephenson. Given the times we now find ourselves in, the climate discourse is most likely about to be weaponised by the tangerine man baby and his sycophants. This tale is testament to the fact that maybe, just maybe, an individual (albeit one with rather a lot of resource and connections) could make a difference. As usual with Stephenson, lots of ideas and concepts, unlike some of his previous efforts, these all seem eminently achievable in the short term. I found it well written, engaging, and hugely enjoyable to read.,

Up close and personal with climate change and geoengineering!

This book is at times thrilling, scary and hilarious. The author deploys some exquisitely honed English to poke fun at even the most serious moments. Every character is given chance to breath, emote, and very much come to life. Two main plot lines come together at the end in a fabulous, near-future wild western showdown.
