Review
Dhruv: 5.5/10
- Liked the overall setting and saw what Robinson was going for
- Did not like a lot of the content, book was not interesting (?), kept seconding getting the specifics
Elton: 7.75/πππ
- Important book to explore what possibilities might lay before us
- Dramatically not my favorite plot
- Early investor in Carbon Coin
Jason: 9/10
- Outside of the point, loved the writing. Form of the book, back and forth really cool and novel, enjoyed all of the characters a lot
- He clearly misses the mark a lot, but enough individual ideas that are poignant enough to mull over even if it doesnβt work as whole grand plan
- They should have done a religion
Tony: 6/10
- Speculative read, interesting read of literary fiction, path forwards towards tackling global warming
- Did not enjoy the plot at all, was too real, not enough traditional tension, characters were whatever, epilogue sucked
