À propos de cet audio
New York Times Bestseller
From Neal Stephenson—who coined the term “metaverse” in his 1992 novel Snow Crash—comes a sweeping, prescient new thriller that transports listeners to a near-future world in which the greenhouse effect has inexorably resulted in a whirling-dervish troposphere of superstorms, rising sea levels, global flooding, merciless heat waves, and virulent, deadly pandemics.
“Stephenson is one of speculative fiction’s most meticulous architects. . . . Termination Shock manages to pull off a rare trick, at once wildly imaginative and grounded.” — New York Times Book Review
One man—visionary billionaire restaurant chain magnate T. R. Schmidt, Ph.D.—has a Big Idea for reversing global warming, a master plan perhaps best described as “elemental.” But will it work? And just as important, what are the consequences for the planet and all of humanity should it be applied?
Ranging from the Texas heartland to the Dutch royal palace in the Hague, from the snow-capped peaks of the Himalayas to the sunbaked Chihuahuan Desert, Termination Shock brings together a disparate group of characters from different cultures and continents who grapple with the real-life repercussions of global warming. Ultimately, it asks the question: Might the cure be worse than the disease?
Epic in scope while heartbreakingly human in perspective, Termination Shock sounds a clarion alarm, ponders potential solutions and dire risks, and wraps it all together in an exhilarating, witty, mind-expanding speculative adventure.

Neal Stephenson is a blazing new force on the sci-fi scene. With the groundbreaking cyberpunk novel Snow Crash, he has "vaulted onto the literary stage." It weaves virtual reality, Sumerian myth, and just about everything in between with a cool, hip cybersensibility - in short, it is the gigathriller of the information age.

Poorly Developed.
The narrator was the best part. It was easy to listen to, but the storyline had huge gaps in logic that left me confused. The sequence of events was muddled, and some specific details just distracted from the story, with no rationale for inclusion. He gave up, and quit writing too soon, leaving me markedly disappointed.

Is this our near future?
I thought that Neil Stevenson has written what could be our near future and he has done it very well indeed. Given the state of the world that we are living through with ever worsening climate events and political events his book is a shout of warning to all of us , a story by a writer with a tale to tell . Very readable.

Took Some Time to Get Into it but Really Enjoyed the 2nd Half
The 1st part until the big gun needs to be pushed through, but found the so many small and big geopolitical situations & historical backstories pretty fascinating. Much like Reamde and Dodge, it took some patience but ultimately I really loved the story. Don't give up too early!

Classic Neal Stephenson novel if you enjoy that
I really enjoyed this. While listening to a world of climate change and rising sea levels, here in British Columbia, Dec-2021, massive flooding has destroyed homes, farms and separated Vancouver from the rest of Canada. It's a little bit surreal...
There are flashes of his writing style and plot points from Snow Crash and Cryptonomicon. Enjoyed the infodump of strange information, like the Line of Actual Control conflict and the Saudi Line City of the Future.

If you liked Cryptonomicon or REAMDE, you'll like this
The narrator is phenomenal. Easily one of the best performances I've heard. The book is good, very much in the same vein as Stephenson's other thrillers: Near future speculative fiction, number of threads that merge toward the end. Like his other novels, the ending is a bit weak. Like he was told "this is great but you need to wrap it up sooner." So it lurches and jumps a bit starting around 3/4 of the way through. Overall a great read though.

Termination Shock
I think I'll have to read this one in hard copy. I usually love Stephenson's work but listening to this one, the story didn't flow and it was hard to keep track of what was going on. Hopefully, hard copy makes a difference. Otherwise, not really worth the time.

Never really took off
Long book that never really tells a full story just sort of skips around. I kept eating for it to pick up but the action only lasted 20 min of a 22 hour story
