[Sam · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a well written, thoroughly researched and immensely entertaining read that takes a look at what the future of mankind may be and how civilsations deals with it (or not as the case may be). Weber combines global climate change and a shift into a new Ice Age with changes in the understanding of evolution and how this can be sudden as well as slow with the various responses from differen aspects of society as the world and our place in it changes. Add in a new species stemming from Homo sapiens and you have a story that is intriguing, challenging and an epic read that shows the good, the bad and the ugly of modern man and how we are still very much in the hands of the natural world (whether we like it or not). A superb read that really makes you think.
