One of the scariest book openings I've read (edit: see reply below). Climate change has never been presented to me in a more horrifying way.

Try "Ministry For The Future" if you want an even more horrifying opening to an climate change thriller. (They also end up using geoengineering to mitigate climate change in that novel.)

My bad! That's what I meant. I've read both but I was specifically referring the the Indian heatwave in the opening of Ministry For The Future. Thanks for jogging my memory.
