Would you say it’s a good book? I’m always down for a riveting read :)

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago

It was kind of a difficult read for me - things just hit a little too close to home for me, and the resolution was too perfect. I'd still recommend it though - at the end of the day it's still Kim Stanley Robinson, and he is an absolute master of hard social-scifi.

Kim Stanley Robinson is likely one of the best sci fi authors alive. You generally can't go wrong with his stuff.

I would say it is an okay book. It's a little too optimistic on the human side which his books all tend to be. It's worth a read though of only to give some idea of possibilities.

"optimistic" just above was talking about how terrorists were shooting planes out of the sky killing people

Everyone has a different definition of optimism. 🙂

More I meant the final outcome. I don't think the eco terrorism would be as effective or as coordinated. ELF certainly did not end up changing much in a positive way.

Eco warriors you mean!

Read it! Simply skip chapters you don't like. Watch this speech after you finished the book.
