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.,
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this, even if it's getting on a bit, and some of the characters are a touch heavy handed. What starts out as vaguely sensible, turns rapidly into a dystopian nightmare fever dream. I'd recommend it.
Having previously read Black Gold, this is a far more US centric take on the whole history of coffee. Yes it covers some of the same ground, but is far more about the rise of the coffee barons and the impact from there. Still an interesting read, with lots to learn.
I mean... really. What were you expecting me to say...? Is it up there with his best? Maybe not, but it's still better than 99% of what gets published these days.
