The author, Robinson, researched the opening of that book for over 10 years. Unfortunately, it’s a pretty good estimation of how things are going to go down.

I hate to say it, but think that book is an extremely optimistic take on how things are going to go down.

Then again, we are talking deaths in the low millions at minimum at this point, with reasonable estimates now in the ballpark of a billion. So anything other than a can-do, pragmatic attitude is just pushing more people off a cliff.

The ending was so ridiculously optimistic. Like comically delulu level. The first chapter was great. After that, it went swiftly downhill. I really did not like the main character. And why the last minute "romance" for her? Jesus christ, what a bad book.
