Great imagination - anticlimax

3 Sterne

Inhaltswarnung Spoiler

I loved the image of New York under water, and it makes you think about climate change. However, ending with the US as a Scandinavian-style welfare state is a bit of an anticlimax. Also, Robinson's idea that a sudden event can make everyone 'wake up' seems a little naive. But, read it, by all means.
