4.0

A real solarpunk book that focuses on lots of solutions to overwhelming problems. Doctorow's usual style: the dialogue is a little strained and some of the characters are a little good to be true, but the plot is fun and the problems seem forecast only slightly into our future. This has a similar feel to Walkaway, and if you liked that or other Doctorow novels, this is more of the same.
