In a way, this is a book about the world we already live in, even though it is also a book about a world that could be the result of the climate collapse we are headed for. It is also a book about a revolution, but it doesn't tell what happens after the revolution. Well, you probably never know that. The best part of the book are the different perspectives it offers, from the top one percent to the analog bottom of the society, including the old man who is skeptical to the resistance and insists everything will be as it always has been.
