Nonfiction 3+/5
The authors explain how technology can save humankind from climate change, pollution, food shortage, depleted resources—virtually every problem we face. Although I don’t believe our governments have the political will to pull off the feats described, it is a fascinating thought experiment.
Now a quick turnaround on a friend’s novel, and back to finish my most recent editing job.
Writing Craft 3-/5
An eye-opening look at how what seem to be simple issues of writing craft have deeply embedded colonialist assumptions. A must-read for writers.

Mystery 4/5
