I think this was my 8th Stephenson book. It’s not the first one I’d recommend but I really liked the characters and story.

I did not know anything about it in advance and was pleased to discover that it’s about climate and solar geoengineering. I have been consuming a lot of non-fiction and fiction climate media lately and this was one of the best. It felt the most grounded in reality: self-interest driving action more than anything else.
