| description | There is a lot going on, so it is too simple to call it a book about the oceans. Both end up at an elite Chicago school and form a passionate, highly intellectual friendship that for a while transcends the differences in their world views and backgrounds. The now scarred " Earth is a water planet, yet we are still ignorant of its submerged regions, even as we despoil them" and impoverished atoll has been chosen for humanity's next adventure: a plan to develop AI‑run cities in the ocean. For me, the parts of the book that worked best were when Evie was underwater watching huge manta rays pass by above her. The book is magisterial, moving and thought-provoking. Powers makes the point, very well, that Earth is a water planet, the vast bulk of it covered by ocean. [...]yes, although this book does a lot of things, it also serves very well as a beautiful love letter to our oceans. Earth is a water planet, yet we are still ignorant of its submerged regions, even as we despoil them Emily H. Wilson is a former editor of New Scientist and the author of the Sumerians trilogy, set in ancient Mesopotamia. The second book in the series, Gilgamesh, is out now. Book Leviathan John Gordon Davis Michael Joseph I haven't read this since the early 1980s, so please excuse me if you find it hasn't aged well. |
