    “Gripping…Ackerman and Stavridis stage a harrowing global conflict that pits military might against an appetite for justice… equal parts haunting and entertaining.” —Publishers Weekly, starred reviewA gripping drama and chilling prophecy about the possible path to war for a planet devastated by climate changeIn their novel 2034, decorated military officers and award-winning authors Elliot Ackerman and Admiral James Stavridis imagined a war between the US and China. In their follow-up novel, 2054, 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.By 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.A fascinating and disturbingly plausible extrapolation from current realities, 2084, like other classics of the genre such as Kim Stanley Robinson’s The Ministry for the Future and Neal Stephenson’s Termination Shock, 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.

    Il 12 marzo 2034 Sarah Hunt, il commodoro della marina militare degli Stati Uniti, è sul ponte del cacciatorpediniere USS John Paul Jones, la sua nave ammiraglia nel Mar Cinese Meridionale, quando rileva un peschereccio senza bandiera in evidente pericolo. Lo stesso giorno, l¿aviatore della marina statunitense, il Maggiore Chris ¿Wedge¿ Mitchell, sta testando una nuova tecnologia invisibile volando con un F35E Lightning sullo Stretto di Hormuz, mentre sconfina nello spazio aereo iraniano. Entro la fine della giornata, ¿Wedge¿ sarà un prigioniero iraniano e il cacciatorpediniere di Sarah Hunt colerà a picco, affondato dalla marina militare cinese. Iran e Cina hanno chiaramente coordinato le loro mosse, utilizzando nuove potenti forme di attacchi cibernetici in grado di vanificare le difese navali e aeree statunitensi. In un solo giorno, la fiducia dell¿America nella preminenza strategica delle sue forze armate è a brandelli. Una nuova, terrificante era è alle porte. Inizia così l¿opera, plausibile in maniera inquietante, scritta a quattro mani da un pluripremiato romanziere, nonché decorato veterano della Marina, e un ex comandante della NATO, un leggendario Ammiraglio che ha trascorso gran parte della sua carriera a difesa della supremazia americana. "2034" è una rielaborazione di fatti reali, miscelata con gli anni di lavoro degli autori ai più alti livelli della sicurezza nazionale. A volte serve un grande romanzo per lanciare il più terribile degli avvertimenti: il 2034 è fin troppo vicino, e questo racconto ammonitore presenta al lettore un futuro oscuro ma possibile, da evitare in ogni modo.
