Couldn’t finish this one - it was that bad.

I’ve read this multiple times but not for the last 7-8 years. Go back and reread this book or read it for the first time. So much still holds true that it’s truly astounding.

While I echo many of the arguments of the author, including what happened to Galileo and the warming trend from the mini-Ice Age, I still found his advocacy too shrill, and the antagonists too caricatured. Reasonable people can disagree without rendering the opposing view as cartoonishly naive, uninformed, and bombastic. My opinion is that the author was so busy writing advocacy that he neglected the story. For example, lose ends: what happened to Nick Drake and his co-conspirators? What about the henchmen like Marisa and Jimmy? If Kenner is from a highly classified government agency, why can’t he call on professional resources instead of taking along untrained civilians on mission after dangerous mission? How did Morton transform from out-of-shape trust-fund playboy to jungle survivalist? Why he was even more adept at jungle survival and eluding capture than professionals like Kenner. What’s the story with Jennifer Haynes? Lawyer? Special-forces? Double-agent? What are the chances of an autonomous robot happening upon 2 near death people in Antarctica? Having read 3 of Crichton’s books, I believe this is by far the weakest.

It shook me up. Brilliant research. Excellent bibliography. It makes you realize how inconsequential our actions are in the ocean of time. As was aptly emphasized we have to understand that we cannot preserve nature but learn to manage. A remarkable push for dissociating politics and science!
