What two things would you want with you on a deserted island?
I often reserve books via my library’s app solely due to name recognition of the author. I read whatever they publish, thus don’t discover their novel is 563 pages until I’m lugging it from the library reminiscent of the Farmer’s Carry during yesterday’s workout. Kim Stanley Robinson’s The Ministry for the Future was such an experience. While it’s marketed as Sci-Fi, all negative outcomes in this near future, climate change tome are not only possible, they’re probable. The science aspects all seem sound as well—expensive, yes, but doable. What seems implausible—based on recorded history—is relying on teamwork and compromise from every country on the planet. That’s what will be needed to slow, halt, and even begin to reverse the deleterious effects of human-caused climate change. I suppose that’s the “Fi” component of this Sci-Fi novel. The Ministry for the Future would be a great book to have on a deserted island. It’d maintain my optimism that the island won’t suffer the same fate as Atlantis, while pulling double duty as a weapon for clubbing animals over the head for sustenance. I’ll also request free WiFi.
