This is an excellent eample of cli-fi and I only hope someone out there is writing books of this calibre. I very much enjoyed the pace, the character development and the really accurate information that reflects the nature of the present climate crisis.

A bit disjointed, but as cli-fi goes, a pretty good read so far.

The Deluge

Chris Holly is on page 105 of 303 of The Sunflower: On the Possibilities and Limits of Forgiveness
This is a haunting book. Forgiveness, how does one deserve it? What horror is someone capable of being forgiven for? This story is amazing and gets into one's head, but also there are so many people that have written a thought and were included in this book, that there are many thoughts to consider.

Chris Holly is on page 143 of 572 of Red Mars (Mars Trilogy, #1)
I love the harder sci-fi. This is an interesting book, talking about the colonization of Mars by a multinational consortium…and an ugly love triangle. I think the author has something to do with Switzerland, because he continues to refer to Fassnacht and things uniquely Swiss. And mustachioed men in American cheerleading outfits doing the CanCan, which is odd to read almost verbatim from another one of his books.

Chris Holly is on page 156 of 563 of The Ministry for the Future
It’s an amazing book and I have loved so much that this author has written, so I have been coming back to this one over and over. He talks about climate change and the political process that fails to adequately address the problem. At this point, he only hints at the ‘Children of Kali’ and the idea of violence as a way to address and accelerate ending the evil of those who plot to destroy. Not entirely fiction.

This is such an important book - I am shocked more people aren’t reading it and discussing regrow that. It makes SO much logic sense.

Quite the excellent pamphlet! I am interested to see what Tolstoy recommends in terms of government organization outside of capitalism.

The authors of this text are quite opinionated and don't appear to be separating their opinions from the factual examination. For me, it diminishes the value of the message of the text.
