The book seemed good until about page 130 when, with no reason, Simmons brings in Barak Obama as a major contributor to the world's woes in this dystopian future. I tried to keep reading through some oversimplified rant about Israel which seemed to blame liberals for allowing terrorism. And the last straw was a scene describing some old useless wind turbines and how bad they worked and how they killed lots of birds. It took all the fun out of reading it. Maybe I will try his book The Terror and hope the not-so-subtle right wing message is toned down a bit. For some reason, this popped up on my library page and I read my comments and some others. I feel compelled to add that the author's views seem even more ridiculous now, especially the ones about green energy and, yes, wind turbines. Oh I think the future will be dystopian all right, some of the reason being the types of views this author has.
