( ) This is a 650 page book that covers a wide range of issues pertinent to the world we live in today. These include climate-change consequences, gender recognition, family, doing the right thing, both geo- and local politics, growing, and love. If I were to pick one of these issues to describe the content of the book I would have to choose, love. Characterisation is central to this story and it is treated masterfully with memorable people who mature over the timeline of the tale. It is the characterisation that brings the global mega-trends we witness today into the lives of real people and situations. #Hopeland #ClimateChange #Love #IanMcDonald #Gender #Politics #TheRightThingToDo disclaimer: i am a big admirer of Ian McDonald's sf. this book takes a long time to reach immersion point, not because it's empty, but because it's so rich that the details of setting, character, and plot need time to come together. but when it comes into its power, it's rather wonderful. and positive stories about the near future history of climate change are hard to find, although we so desperately need them.

A time-traveling, futuristic saga of a family trying to outlast and remake a universe with a power unlike any we've seen before. When Raisa Hopeland, determined to win her race to become the next electromancer of London, bumps into Amon Brightbourne--tweed-suited, otherworldly, guided by the Grace--in the middle of a London riot, she sets in motion a series of events which will span decades, continents and a series of events which will change the world. From rioting London to geothermal Iceland to the climate-struck islands of Polynesia, from birth to life to death, from tranquillity to terror to joy, Raisa's journey will encompass the world. But one thing will always be true. Hopeland is family--and family is dangerous.
