Not a big fan of sci-fi because, as the review states, most times the story is just made to seem too "unrealistic" so to speak.Overall great review!

I'm the kind of person who has been avoiding news since a while so as to keep myself away from the depressing reality. I feel reading a book on Global warming and politics within UN kind of defeats the purpose. So I will pass. Thanks for the review.

Sci-fi is not really one genre that warms me u, but the topic sounds really interesting to me. Thank you for being so clear in your review.

The book seems to be original and character-driven. I like the idea of a system of mirrors meant to delay the effects of global warming. Since I'm a fan of science fiction, I'll add this novel to my reading list. Thanks for your review!

The book is set in 2032, yet describes a current world riddled with environmental degradation and associated effects like global warming. Wuhan also gives me Corona tales. Congratulations on the BOTD.

This story sounds like an interesting, almost-possible future. The author has clearly thought carefully about his topic and made it as believable as he can. Thanks for the review!

Climate change is increasingly affecting our planet, and it is good when there are people who somehow manage to reach the minds and hearts of others by making them wake up and think about the impending threat. Thanks for the wonderful and real review!

Love the inclusion of real world situations in the development of this book! I always wonder how the world will be changed in future. However, this is not my preferred genre so I'll be skipping it. Thanks for this insightful review.

It's great that the book, although it belongs to the Sci-Fi / Fantasy genre, is based on some real problems such as global warming. I think it's great that there is a female person among the main characters.

This sci-fi story may just become real since global warming is a real threat. I am glad the story is not too farfetched. Moreover, the characters seem to have unique personalities. Nice review!

I like how the book is set in the not-too-distant future of 2032 and addresses the pressing issues of global warming that our world is dealing with today. The author's understanding of lobbying activities and economics is also commendable.

The book seems compelling. Global warming is an urgent problem of today which many governments try to solve in whatever way is possible. Constructing mirrors that delay the effects of global warming is very interesting and I would like to learn more about that. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

I'm interested in global warming but not in sci-fi/fantasy. I don't know if that possible to develop a solar shield effectively but if it does then it'll be a good option unless it doesn't have any environmental and safety risks.
