A critique of Ministry for the Future

The title says it all. Favorite Paragraph:

As with other themes, Kim Stanley Robinson’s parody of techno-solutionism gets so heavy-handed that even the most Blockchain-loving reader must take it as obvious satire. The man got to the point of including a poem about the Chain within his book. That is some real dedication.

Thanks for this! I referenced the review in a recent panel discussion hosted by NCAR and ASU titled Co-creating Useful and Usable Climate Intervention Simulations. This networking platform is certainly serving it’s purpose.
