It was kind of a difficult read for me - things just hit a little too close to home for me, and the resolution was too perfect. I’d still recommend it though - at the end of the day it’s still Kim Stanley Robinson, and he is an absolute master of hard social-scifi.
I would say it is an okay book. It’s a little too optimistic on the human side which his books all tend to be. It’s worth a read though of only to give some idea of possibilities.
Everyone has a different definition of optimism. 🙂
More I meant the final outcome. I don’t think the eco terrorism would be as effective or as coordinated. ELF certainly did not end up changing much in a positive way.
Would you say it’s a good book? I’m always down for a riveting read :)
Kim Stanley Robinson is likely one of the best sci fi authors alive. You generally can’t go wrong with his stuff.

Read it! Simply skip chapters you don’t like. Watch this speech after you finished the book.

“optimistic” just above was talking about how terrorists were shooting planes out of the sky killing people
Eco warriors you mean!
