Takes a while, but it’s worth it.

This author’s works, I’ve found, generally take a while to get into, but once you do, the journey is well worth it. His books, including this one, seem to be journeys, not through space, but time, catching the era of some important evolution of human society.

This book paints a wonderful picture of what could happen, if we finally got desperate enough and started undoing – or repairing – the damage humans have done to the earth. As is often the case, action is spurred by tragedy. Once the action – though it is more political, scientific and societal than violent and aggressive – begins, we are viewers sitting on the shoulder of one of the prime focal points of the reparation endeavor. Through our main POV, with entr’actes of others, we watch the sweep of history as humanity takes responsibility for continued life on earth…including all its people.
