In the near future, the consequences of climate change pose a serious threat to humanity. Anna and Charlie Quibler, from their respective jobs in Washington, fight to promote urgent measures to save the planet. Anna, a scientist at the National Science Foundation, evaluates research projects, while Charlie advises a senator on environmental legislation. However, when the possibility arises of developing a machine to control the climate, it becomes clear that economic and political interests do not always coincide with the common good. Kim Stanley Robinson presents us with a realistic thriller that invites reflection on ecology and criticizes American politics.
