Fiction that reads like non-fiction. It's not the best book I've read, but it might be one of the most impressive ones. Robinson somehow ties together modern climate science and political philosophy through dozens of one-off vignettes of characters who've never met and still creates a compelling narrative, even if a few points of the book got dated pretty quickly. If that sounds interesting to you, or if you want to learn something about climate politics, read this.
