  • Termination shock

    Creator

    Stephenson, Neal

    Abstract

    From Neal Stephenson - who coined the term "metaverse" in his 1992 novel Snow Crash - comes a sweeping, prescient new thriller that transports readers to a near-future world in which the greenhouse effect has inexorably resulted in a whirling-dervish troposphere of superstorms, rising sea levels, global flooding, merciless heat waves, and virulent, deadly pandemics. One man - visionary billionaire restaurant chain magnate T. R. Schmidt, Ph.D. - has a Big Idea for reversing global warming, a master plan perhaps best described as "elemental." But will it work?

Juliette has never fought for herself before.

The writer’s uncle, Nab Safi, knows something about it, but soon he won’t around to tell his story. And so begins an investigation in which time, place, memory, and people collide. A mother in the Lebanese ghetto bets her son in a game of dice to settle her debts. Dinosaurs are resurrected.
