Last summer read both New York 2140 as well as The Ministry for the Future.

New York 2140 also about climate change but more humorous than The Ministry for the Future. Liked both books.

It’s obvious to me from reading his books that he has no love for Capitalism as either a social or economic system that is unselfish enough to solve the planet’s problems.

The ideas he presents in The Ministry for The Future are ideas that have been discussed in the “real world”. Also the weather events are real possibilities.
