5.0
One of the best cli-fi novels I read. Like Kim Stanley Robinson’s Ministry for the future it manages to paint a picture of how humanity somehow manages to meet the challenge of climate change, without falling into either complete dystopia or naive utopia. This book raises difficult political questions around fairness and justice (and, like Ministry…, the moral differences between fast and slow violence), while at the same time being a tense novel about terrorism and family ties. A fantastic read!
