The #1 New York Times bestselling author returns with a visionary technothriller about climate change

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.

Ikke blandt Neal Stephensons bedste - dertil er dramaet for forudsigeligt og utroværdigt. Kobler ikke til Texas milliardærens selvbestaltede ret til at ændre klimaet og kobler ikke til det ufattelige held der fører til afsløringen af Big Fish og Indiens planer… Selve idéen med at forurene stratosfæren med svovldioxid er interessant og frygtelig på en og samme tid - men det holder ikke historien oppe..
