A review by paulhill53
Japan Sjunker by Sakyo Komatsu

5.0

I wish I could remember how I heard about this book but I can't. Maybe Big Data just knew I'd like it - fascinating story from the early 1970s filled with earthquakes and volcanoes and tidal waves and Japan sinking - with just under a year of warning, how do they evacuate 110 million people...and where do they go? Really complex, well thought out story. Reminded me of a book that I was given when I moved to San Francisco - "The Last Days of the Late Great State of California". And I can't believe that this is the same guy a who "Bye Bye Jupiter", a movie that was used as a demo of theatre sound when I worked at Dolby Labs in the 1980s. And sorry that he never wrote the sequel that this version says he was working on. Perhaps not the best reading during a global pandemic, but, whatever...
