Book Log 2022 #15: Termination Shock by Neal Stephenson

This climate novel brings together a feral pig hunter, an oil billionaire, and the Queen of the Netherlands in a scheme to address global warming through a rogue geoengineering project. While the project isn't sanctioned by any government, it does draw the attention of both China and India, which undertake their own responses aimed at promoting their own interests in relation to the project.

This book reminded me a little bit of both Zodiac and Cryptonomicon in how non-governmental actors can influence policy through technology (though this book is much more focused on the aftermath). It also had one of the more entertaining romantic subplots, which was unexpected.

It's not his best book, but I did enjoy it, and think it compares favorably against other climate fiction.
