"[This book} is thoughtful, informative, and darkly entertaining. It’s the best treatment of this important (and scary) topic you can find."

Elizabeth Kolbert, author of Field Notes from a Catastrophe

"In the highly contentious climate debate geoengineering remains one of the most controversial, yet intriguing, remaining questions. In this vividly written, thoughtful book, Jeff Goodell helps readers explore the audacious question of whether humans can use technology to fix the very problem it's created."
