Termination Shock by Neal Stephenson Book Summary

New York Times Bestseller

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.

“Stephenson is one of speculative fiction’s most meticulous architects. . . . Termination Shock manages to pull off a rare trick, at once wildly imaginative and grounded.” — New York Times Book Review

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? And just as important, what are the consequences for the planet and all of humanity should it be applied?

Ranging from the Texas heartland to the Dutch royal palace in the Hague, from the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas to the sunbaked Chihuahuan Desert, Termination Shock brings together a disparate group of characters from different cultures and continents who grapple with the real-life repercussions of global warming. Ultimately, it asks the question: Might the cure be worse than the disease?

Epic in scope while heartbreakingly human in perspective, Termination Shock sounds a clarion alarm, ponders potential solutions and dire risks, and wraps it all together in an exhilarating, witty, mind-expanding speculative adventure.

Too cool…. First class ride. Engaging characters, future-leaning ideas and tech. The near-future twilight of the US empire feels sadly prescient.

Time to reset. I have been a huge fan of Stephenson. Lately, his books have seemed more and more like sitting down with my grandmother (whom I loved) listening to her drone on and on in excruciating detail about relatives. I will continue to visit, give my full attention, but it will be a struggle.

Too much exposition. Depending on how you want to count pages, the denouement was really only about 1/30th of the book. The story meandered through the person histories of every participant… which made them “real” but also drug things along much more than necessary. As a story, then, it got boring.

Much to learn about……. Climate,drones,eagles,martial arts,physics and of course the Dutch monarchy and government. There is no quiz at the end,though. Interesting, fun but a bit heavy on details.

Medium for Neal standards. Fun and topical but not epic
