I have a background in climate science, land protection, and sustainability. This book is more like a collection of scenario planning essays held together by a theme that progresses. It’s grounded in science and the ideas captured in a story narrative are interesting, but as a work of entertainment, it falls short. There is only so much drama and intrigue even great prose can add to a story about international digital banking… The performances are solid and the writing is clear, but I feel like it could have been half as long.
