In their follow-up novel, \u003ci\u003e 2054\u003c\/i\u003e, they envisioned a breakdown in American politics fueled by a radical advance in AI. Now they make their boldest, most astonishing, and arguably most necessary leap--imagining the consequences of a climate war. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy the year 2084, the world is divided into the equatorial countries that bear the brunt of the climate crisis--led by Nigeria, Brazil, and Indonesia--and wealthier countries like China and the US, beset by their own problems after a series of civil wars. Tensions between the two sets of countries have reached a breaking point, until finally the so-called Reparationist nations of the equator decide that only military force can bring them justice. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA fascinating and disturbingly plausible extrapolation from current realities, \u003ci\u003e2084\u003c\/i\u003e, like other classics of the genre such as Kim Stanley Robinson's \u003ci\u003eThe Ministry for the Future\u003c\/i\u003e and Neal Stephenson's \u003ci\u003eTermination Shock\u003c\/i\u003e, deploys a global cast of characters, all protecting their interests as the fate of human civilization hangs in the balance. Individuals often seem small in the face of the forces that drive global change, but in the end human agency proves surprisingly decisive. Big doors can swing on small hinges. We have it within ourselves to write a different destiny, if only we can imagine it.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElliot Ackerman\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the novels \u003ci\u003eSheepdogs\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHalcyon\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e2034\u003c\/i\u003e (coauthor), \u003ci\u003eRed Dress in Black and White\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eWaiting for Eden\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDark at the Crossing\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eGreen on Blue\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as the memoirs \u003ci\u003eThe Fifth Act: America's End in Afghanistan\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePlaces and Names: On War, Revolution, and Returning\u003c\/i\u003e.
