This is one of the most dystopiest dystopias I've read! his future of our world is caused by our use of fossil fuels and ignoring global warming. It's not really preachy about it - in fact it sounds eerily accurate to what we are experiencing now and the trajectory that Paolo paints our future heading feels unnervingly likely. The characters are just as fantastic as the world building. First off, there is fantastic diversity. It feels like an accurate representation of what our current racial ratios are like. There's also people with different virtues and flaws, and a wide array of moral compasses - no one character is alike. Definitely the most thought provoking read I've had all year. I really don't have anything bad to say about this book. Oh yeah, and even though it's a series, you could read this book and never know! I mean I'm definitely going to check out the sequel, but there's no cliff hanger so you don't need to feel compelled to. Yay!
