A review by sotdab
The Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson

5.0

A great vision of what might be in store for us in terms of the climate crisis and a plausible account of the wins and losses and how we might just get through it. It demonstrated such a broad spectrum of knowledge and ideas - a real tour de force. I loved especially the idea that we can only be safe when everyone is safe, and covid has demonstrated that perfectly. My only criticism is that a key solution relied on blockchain technology, yet a crypto currency transaction is about 1000 times more energy intensive than a visa transaction, so I wouldn't be promoting that as a way forward.
