KSR’s climate emergency / terrorism thriller / novel of ideas is incredibly compelling, though a bit slow-moving, on the printed page. Sadly, for someone who listens to audio books constantly, the audio production of Ministry is criminally bad. Terrible narrators who mispronounce and don’t understand tonal emphasis or exactly what is is they’re reading. I..
I love the detailed ideas for how to tackle the climate crisis. It’s a handbook. I know it is fiction but can act as a launchpad for reality. I also liked the characters as it helped me get invested in the story. I read this as India is having their covid crisis and a heat..

I still like the concept of these books. They are different from the typical paranormal romance I have been listening to. This one, seemed to have ended too “easy” I guess. It was like the author got tired of the story and was just done. There was all this build up and then it was..

Review from The Ministry for the Future →
I’ve read a few Robinson books, including New York 2140 which was also #climatefiction. This one’s plot is short vignettes, not true storylines about the characters. It’s a thesis on how to save the world from climate change, melting glaciers, sea level rise, economic collapse, and even our own hubris. A lot of economic theory..
the book series is a nice little gem if you like the early Dresden books or October Daye.
narrator sounds like he’s recording at night, trying to be quiet – little volume variance and chooses to harshly whisper to indicate raised voices. detracts from story by having limited differences in character voices. story was heavy handed with it’s parallels to mythology, glosses over what could be interesting plot paths in favor of ‘montage..
