An enjoyable book with some interesting action. It is lacking in grand sci-fi concepts other than the sulfur stuff, which I thought for sure was going to be a cargo ship loaded with iron filings based on some commentary I had seen before reading. But there is a good amount of near-future envisionings: drone concepts, live streaming, climate impacts, etc.
The climate topics overall are a no for me. I don't identify with the people who dread climate impacts all day long in real life. So even though I think it is plausible for such things to happen, I guess I really do not care to read a book about it. I think I envision all these "dreaders" also reading the book and being like, "yes, see that is what will happen!" and want to roll my eyes so hard.
I wonder what topics I enjoy reading that would cause such eye rolling by others?
Lastly, I am really not sure what to think of the non-lethal border wars! Is there some kernel of this developing already that I don't know about?
