By Neal Stephenson.
A sci-fi (Speculative fiction?) set in the near future. Climate change is aggressively affecting the world and those with money and power are either doing something about it, or fighting over it.
The cast of characters is rather odd-- the Queen of the Netherlands, a mixed race southern pig hunter, oil billionaires, Sikhs,
It's a fun read. Maybe a few too many dangling ends for my tastes, but I enjoyed it overall.
There is a fun, nerdy, drones-vs-eagles battle towards the end of the book
I liked that the "bad guy" wasn't really bad. Global warming and any attempts to change it, will create winners and losers. Can you blame a looser who is just fighting to get a chair at the table?
