Scary but Hopeful Vision of Earth's Future

Cory Doctorow didn't disappoint again with this (YA)? novel. Set in 2052, it shows a scary depiction of where the climate emergency may lead us, but also remains hopeful because there are so many people who seem to get it and are fighting back against those who still don't care and cling to the past. Fighting in the sense of helping and (re)building, which I think is a major point the author is trying to get across: Don't waste your time with senseless arguments, but instead direct your energy into doing something useful that helps humanity get back on track and salvage what can still be salvaged. I can get behind that.
