Neal Stephenson’s sweeping, prescient new novel transports readers to a near-future world where the greenhouse effect has inexorably resulted in a whirling-dervish troposphere of superstorms, rising sea levels, global flooding, merciless heat waves, and virulent, deadly pandemics.
One man has a Big Idea for reversing global warming, a master plan perhaps best described as “elemental.” But will it work? And just as important, what are the consequences for the planet and all of humanity should it be applied?
As only Stephenson can, Termination Shock sounds a clarion alarm, ponders potential solutions and dire risks, and wraps it all together in an exhilarating, witty, mind-expanding speculative adventure.

6 uur in het boek, mooi voorgelezen en een vleug Nederlandse monarchie erin is gaaf.. ondanks een ingewikkeld tennisspel met woorden, voor mijn intelligentie niet te volgen.

Een spannend en bij tijden zeer grappig verhaal over een complot om de klimaatverandering te sturen en te beperken.
