I think since Covid I have started to look at dystopian novels like this differently than before. It all seems far too plausible and that is terrifying. Jane and Karl are scientists who stumble across some samples that show that the planet is no longer raining carbon. Now, that might have once been a cause for celebration but no longer. What is the reason behind this revelation and it's a force of nature or human intervention? Bill answers all these questions and more. I was afraid that I was going to be overwhelmed with the science but it's all clearly explained and it doesn't feel as if it has been ‘dumbed down’. There are three parts to this book - the first is action-packed with revelations happening all the way through. The remaining two parts are slower in pace but they are the ones which resonated more for me. The final chapter that features Jane made me cry. It was so eloquent and overwhelming. This is a hard look at climate change and it's a hard read but oh so worth it.

The first half had very much the feel of a thriller. The opening chapter was intense and high impact and made you want to read on. It was fast paced and centred around three scientists discovering and trying to find out what some airborne anomalies were and what the implications to the planet would be. I did wonder if it would be too scientific for me but that wasn’t the case at all, the scientific explanations were easy to follow and I really liked the three main characters. Parts two and three had a totally different feel. It describes the possible aftermath of us messing with nature and the environment and was actually quite disturbing. It had quite an impact on me, I got quite emotional reading it and I wonder if that is more so because we’ve been living through a pandemic and realise that some things we can’t control. I found the last section quite hard to read, not because of the writing, it was really well written but because of the hopelessness and despair conveyed. It really made me appreciate and think about what we’ve got now and what could happen if we don’t look after our planet. I don’t think I’ve read such a thought provoking book in a long time and despite the stark message it contains I really enjoyed it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "geoengineering" group.
